RBT Translation:
I am enjoined to yourself
Myself, Favored, the Brother of yourselves, and joint-companion, within the Pressing-Together and a queen, and Patient one within Salvation. I became within the Island, she who is being summoned "Patmos",1c across the other side to the Word of the God and to the Testimony of Salvation.
LITV Translation:
I, even your brother John, and co-sharer in the affliction, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, came to be in the island being called Patmos because of the Word of God, and because of the witness of Jesus Christ.
ESV Translation:
I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

Footnotes

1c

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."
