Italia identifies the land named as a place of origin, destination, and association in the cited passages.

The attested use identifies a land in three closely related relations: people come from it, a voyage is directed toward it, and others are described in connection with it.

Senses in use

  1. A land named in origin, travel, and association · dominant

    The genitive singular form marks origin in Acts 18:2, where the APB renders Aquila as having “come from Italy,” and in Hebrews 13:24, where it renders a group as those who “come from Italy.” The accusative singular form marks the destination of sailing in Acts 27:1 and Acts 27:6; the APB renders both movements as directed “toward Italy.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the land as a source in Acts 18:2 and Hebrews 13:24 and as a sailing destination in Acts 27:1 and Acts 27:6. These renderings confirm the clauses' relations rather than isolate a separate English equivalent.
