I was going over the Koine Greek of the Book of the Apocalypse of St. John and was startled to see that a ship's pilot is referred to as 'κυβερνήτης'. This is uncannily close to the Latin 'Gubernator' and I'm wondering if the Latin word is a loan word from Greek or if Koine Greek just incorporated the Latin word.
Thanks in advance for any answers.
