Tyre
Turos is the place-name used for Tyre as a destination, region, source area, and point of comparison.
The term consistently names the same location: it marks travel to or from it, identifies its surrounding region or coastal area, and supplies the location named in comparisons concerning repentance and judgment.

The genitive form occurs in references to the coastal region, movement toward or from the region, and departure from it; in Luke 6:17 the APB renders a multitude from “the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon,” while Mark 7:31 renders travel “out from the region of Tyre.” The accusative form marks a landing place in Acts 21:3, and the dative form names the location in the hypothetical comparison of Matthew 11:21 and the judgment statement of Matthew 11:22.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the name as “Tyre,” whether it is a landing point, a region, a coastal area, or the location paired with Sidon in comparison and judgment sayings. These renderings confirm the verse-level geographic reference rather than establish separate meanings.
