Damaskos is the place named as the destination, location, or point of departure in accounts involving Saul and others.

The term consistently names a particular place: people travel toward or into it, approach it, reside there, preach there, or are described in relation to events occurring there. The accusative singular forms occur with movement toward or into the place, while the dative singular forms mark it as the location or setting of an action.

   The accusative singular appears in movement clauses: in Acts 22:10 the APB renders the command to “go toward Damascus,” and in Acts 9:8 it renders that Saul was brought “into Damascus.” The dative singular identifies the setting of events, including Ananias being there in Acts 9:10, disciples remaining there in Acts 9:19, and preaching there in Acts 9:27.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses, the APB presents the name directly as “Damascus,” with phrases such as “toward Damascus,” “into Damascus,” and “in Damascus.” These surrounding English prepositions reflect the clauses as rendered rather than separate meanings of the term.
