Σαμαρεῖτις
Samareîtis
Samaritan
A woman from Samaria (the region or city), especially a female inhabitant or native of Samaria. The term denotes geographic origin or regional identity, used primarily to specify a woman associated with Samaria as distinct from other regional identities in the Levant. In literary contexts of the New Testament, it can bear social, cultural, or religious overtones reflecting the distinctiveness of Samarians ('Samaritans') in contrast to other groups such as Judeans. The main sense is an adult woman who comes from or resides in Samaria, with connotations shaped by intergroup relations of the period.
