    Description

    Neapolis in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Neapolis was a port city on the Aegean coast of Macedonia, near the border with Thrace. It is mentioned in the New Testament as the place where the apostle Paul and his companions (Silas, Timothy, and Luke) landed on their first journey to Europe (Act.16.11). After sailing from Troas, they arrived at Neapolis and then went to Philippi, a leading city in the district of Macedonia. Neapolis served as the seaport for Philippi, which was located about 10 miles inland. Today, Neapolis is known as Kavala, a city in northeastern Greece.

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
