In the New Testament context, it is associated with the materials used for writing sacred texts or important letters.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, parchment was a valuable writing material, often used when papyrus was unavailable or unsuitable. Parchment was durable and could be reused, making it a preferred medium for important documents. The use of parchment became more widespread with the rise of the codex, an early form of the book, which allowed for easier reading and storage of texts. This transition from scrolls to codices was significant in the dissemination of Christian writings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Latin origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>parchment<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>parchments (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3200: μεμβράνα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μεμβράνα</span></span> (<span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span>' Lexicon, <span class="greek2">μεμβράνα</span>; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Chandler</span> § 136), <span class="greek2">μεμβράνας</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 17 (15)), <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, Latin<span class="latin">membrana</span>, i. e. <span class="accented">parchment,</span> first made of dressed skins at Pergamum, whence its name: <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/4-13.htm">2 Timothy 4:13</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Act.
