Derbe

The name that is transliterated as “Derbe” in English means “tanner,” “covered with skin.” (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )

In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that combines the signs for “small region” and “salvation,” because of the successful reception Paul’s message had in Derbe (see Acts 14:21). (Source: Missão Kophós )
