Definition: Adi'nent was a city in the Roman province of Gallicia, which was in modern-day Spain. It is mentioned only once in Tacitus's Annals (c. 80 AD), but it did not actually exist as a city. It appears that the term was originally used to describe an inhabitant, though this has been interpreted differently throughout history and even today. Some sources suggest that it might mean a "neither man nor beast" or something resembling one who lives without human contact ("adient"). The Latin word for "neither man nor beast" is "conus", which means "no man". However, other sources give different definitions of the term. One possible meaning is as a person without family members, a stranger, or an outsider. Another interpretation could be that it refers to someone who lives alone, without any social ties or support networks. In another sense, it might also refer to someone who is not connected with society in any way. Historically, the city of Adi'nent was associated with the Roman province of Gallicia, and it may have been a small community or village. The name itself, "Adi'nent," appears to be derived from the Latin word "adi" which means "neither man nor beast." The exact definition of "adient" would depend on the source and context in which this term is used. However, it has been interpreted differently throughout history and even today, so different scholars may give varying definitions.
