Hi to All. I have a hard time to research Biblical Philadelphia. I get in results Philadelphia, PA. (and mostly publishers results). What should I put on a search box? Any suggestions?
searching for the greek term in a Greek New Testament, then the "where cited" feature for the references?
just an idea.

Search your Bible dictionaries and Bible encyclopedias.
You could search for the Greek version of the word, Φιλαδελφείᾳ
You could look up Philadelphia in Bible Dictionaries, and check the bibliographies in those entries for further research.
You could open and read the commentaries that discuss Rev 1:11 and Rev 3:7
Thanks for the reply, for dictionaries yes, it will work, but what about articles and journals?
.... check the bibliographies in those entries for further research.
hmmm. Thats a good suggestion. Thank you Todd Phillip. What about journals
What about journals
Try restricting your search to "large text" and/or "heading text".
what about articles and journals?
That's what I meant above with using the "cited by" tool. Assuming the articles that refer to biblical Philadelphia will cite Rev 3:7, the tool will give you lots of hits:
Hope this helps a bit,
Thanks Newbie. Had not thought of the cited by tool.
What about journals Try restricting your search to "large text" and/or "heading text".
That's works. [Y] I unchecked footnote and surface text. Big Thanks

Thanks. I see your point. This will definitely help.

This search picks up a bunch of relevant hits (those are the other cities among the "seven churches" of Revelation 2-3):
Philadelphia NEAR (Smyrna, Pergamum, Ephesus, Thyatira, Sardis, Laodicea)
I searched Philadelphia with the following items (see attached picture): Heading Text; Large Text; Main Text Line; Topic and did not see any references to Pennsylvania. (I checked about 1/2 of them). This is with Scholar's Silver plus a few extra.

Title search finds some entries:
