Aquila (Hebrew: עֲקִילַס ʿăqīlas, fl. 130 CE) of Sinope (modern-day Sinop, Turkey; Latin: Aquila Ponticus) was a translator of the Hebrew Bible into Greek, a proselyte, [clarification needed] and disciple of Rabbi Akiva.
Sinop, historically known as Sinope (Ancient Greek: Σινώπη, Sinōpē), is a city on the isthmus of İnce Burun (İnceburun, Cape Ince) and on the Boztepe Peninsula, near Cape Sinope (Sinop Burnu, Boztepe Cape, Boztepe Burnu) which is situated on the northernmost edge of the Turkish side of the Black Sea coast, in the ancient region of Paphlagonia, in modern-day northern Turkey.
Aquila of Sinope derives the word hêlêl, the Hebrew name for the morning star, from the verb yalal (to lament). This derivation was adopted as a proper name for an angel who laments the loss of his former beauty. [36] The Christian church fathers—for example Saint Jerome, in his Vulgate—translated this as Lucifer.
The Battle of Sinop, or the Battle of Sinope, was a naval battle that took place on 30 November 1853 between Imperial Russia and the Ottoman Empire during the opening phase of the Crimean War (1853–1856). [5] It took place at Sinop, a sea port on the southern shore of the Black Sea (the northern shore of Anatolian Turkey). [5]

Hieromartyr Phocas (Greek: Φωκάς) was born in the city of Sinope in northern Turkey. His life and legend may have been a fusion of three men with the same name: a Phocas of Antioch, Phocas, Bishop of Sinope, and Phocas the Gardener. Only the last seems authentic. [4] His parents, Pamphilus and Maria, were pious Christians. [5]
