在罗马统治巴勒斯坦期间，尤其是公元135年至公元390年间，巴勒斯坦成为帝国的一个行省。这一时期留存了大量用多种语言写成的文献，包括拉丁文、希腊文、阿拉姆文和希伯来文，同时也见于新兴宗教基督教的历史记载和经典文本之中。到这一时期，“巴勒斯坦”这一名称已有一千多年的历史，并且广为流传。

During Roman rule in Palestine, and more specifically between 135 AD and 390 AD, Palestine became one of the Provincias of the empire. This is also a period from which many written records were preserved in a variety of languages – Latin, Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew –and also covered in the annals and texts of the new religion of Christianity. By this time the name ‘Palestine’ was more than a millennium old and had substantial currency.

在罗马时期，"巴勒斯坦"这一官方及行政名称得到确立并在拉丁语和希腊语中广为流传，这两种语言当时是罗马帝国和东地中海地区的两种通用语。

During the Roman period the official/administrative name of ‘Palestine’ was consolidated and popularised in Latin and Greek, which were the two lingua francas of the Roman Empire and Eastern Mediterranean.

这两种语言对整个东地中海地区的贸易、行政、教育、宗教、建筑、外交、货币以及重要地名都产生了深远影响。

These two languages affected trade, administration, education, religion, architecture, diplomacy, coinage and key place names throughout the Eastern Mediterranean.
