It is used to denote a defined region, often in the context of describing the location of events or the extent of a particular area. In the New Testament, it is used to provide context for the narrative by specifying the geographical setting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, regions were often defined by natural boundaries such as rivers, mountains, or coastlines, as well as by political or tribal divisions. Understanding the geographical context of biblical events is crucial for interpreting the narrative and the movement of people and ideas. The term "perioché" would have been understood by contemporary audiences as a way to locate events within the broader landscape of the Roman Empire and the surrounding territories.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4023.htm">periechó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>circumference, a portion circumscribed<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>passage (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 4042: περιοχή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περιοχή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">περιοχῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">περιέχω</span>, which see); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">an encompassing, compass, circuit</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Theophrastus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">that which is contained</span>; specifically, <span class="accented">the contents</span> of any writing, <a href="/interlinear/acts/8-32.htm">Acts 8:32</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Cicero</span>, ad Attic. 13, 25; <span class="abbreviation">Stobaeus</span>, eclog. ethic., p. 164 (ii., p. 541, Gaisford edition)) (but <span class="abbreviation">A.
