Tyrian; of or belonging to Tyre, a Phoenician coastal city
A gentilic adjective identifying someone or something as belonging to Tyre, the great Phoenician port city. It appears in connection with Hiram, the skilled craftsman 'a Tyrian man' who worked on Solomon's temple (1 Kgs 7:14; 2 Chr 2:14). The plural 'the Tyrians' designates the people of Tyre who supplied cedar timber for David and Solomon (1 Chr 22:4; Ezra 3:7) and who traded fish in Jerusalem on the Sabbath to Nehemiah's displeasure (Neh 13:16). Spanish 'tirios' and French/German transliterations all point to the same well-known mercantile identity.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A gentilic adjective meaning 'of Tyre' or 'Tyrian,' used as both an adjective describing individuals (1 Kgs 7:14, the craftsman Hiram) and a substantive noun for the inhabitants of Tyre collectively (1 Chr 22:4; Ezra 3:7; Neh 13:16). The Tyrians consistently appear as suppliers of materials and goods, reflecting Tyre's role as a major Mediterranean trading power. Spanish 'tirios' and 'de Tiro' both render the ethnic designation clearly. 5×
