Dict: smith - SYROPHOENICIAN

smith:

SYROPHOENICIAN - S>@ - occurs only in kjv@Mark:7:26) The word denoted perhaps a mixed race, half Phoenicians and half Syrians; (or the Phoenicians in this region may have been called Syro-phoenicians because they belonged to the Roman province of Syria, and were thus distinguished from the Phoenicians who lived in Africa, or the Carthaginians.
