STRONGS G1337:
διθάλασσος, -ον, (δίς and θάλασσα);
1. resembling [or forming] two seas: thus of the Euxine Sea, Strabo 2, 5, 22; Dionysius Periegetes, 156.
2. lying between two seas, i. e. washed by the sea on both sides (Dio Chrysostom 5, p. 83): τόπος διθάλασσος, an isthmus or tongue of land, the extremity of which is covered by the waves, Acts 27:41; others understand here a projecting reef or bar against which the waves dash on both sides; in opposition cf. Meyer at the passage. (In Clement. hom., p. 20, Dressel edition [Ep. Petr. ad Jacob. § 14], men ἀλόγιστοι κ. ἐνδοιάζοντες περὶ τῶν τῆς ἀληθείας ἐπαγγελμάτων are allegorically styled τόποι διθάλασσοι δὲ καὶ θηριώδεις.)
