RBT Translation:

γράφω graphó - to scratch, carve, paint, draw lines, write

Blessed is the one who is recognizing, and the ones who are hearing the Words of the Prophecy and those who are watching over the ones within herself, those who have been written/drawn,^1a for the Time is near at hand!

γράφω graphó

"Behold! How large are the drawings [gramma] I have drawn [grapho] to yourselves with my own hand!" (Galatians 6:11 RBT)

In Aristotle's Mechanica, the principles of motion are discussed, i.e. how lines or curves are generated by the movement of points. The verb γράφω here describes the act of "tracing" or "drawing" such figures, illustrating the geometrical understanding of motion, where a moving point leaves behind a visible path, such as a circle traced by the end of a rotating arm.

cf. Aristotle's Mechanica (848b10)

LITV Translation:
Blessed is the one reading, and those hearing the words of this prophecy, and keeping the things having been written; for the time is near.

ESV Translation:
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.

Πάτμος (Patmos) is one of the islands in the Aegean Sea, specifically part of the group known as the Sporades. The term "Sporades" (σποράδες) comes from the Greek word meaning "scattered" or "distant," reflecting the islands' dispersed locations. The Sporades include notable islands such as Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos, and Skyros. Patmos, a key island in this group, is historically significant and is mentioned by ancient Greek historians like Thucydides.

Absent of any known etymology, the closest word resemblance is πάτος patos which refers to a "trodden" or "beaten way" or "path."
