1. Rome (proper noun, the city) — The proper noun designating the capital city of the Roman Empire, used as a geographical reference in the NT for the location of the Christian community, Paul's destination, and the seat of imperial power. All 8 occurrences refer to the same city across different grammatical cases (accusative, dative, genitive). Multilingual renderings are uniformly transliterated: Swahili 'Roma/Rumi', Hindi 'Rom', Korean 'Roma', Arabic 'Rumiyya/Ruma', Spanish 'Roma'. The S76266 cluster (2x, genitive/accusative) is a purely grammatical split from S76265 (6x, accusative/dative), with identical referent. The Swahili variant 'Rumi' in S76266 is an archaic alternative transliteration, not a different sense. 8×
