[5] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
barbarian
   a greek word used in the new testament rom. 1:14 to denote one
   of another nation. in col. 3:11, the word more definitely
   designates those nations of the roman empire that did not speak
   greek. in 1 cor. 14:11, it simply refers to one speaking a
   different language. the inhabitants of malta are so called acts
   28:1,2, 4. they were originally a carthaginian colony. this
   word nowhere in scripture bears the meaning it does in modern
   times.
