Patmiot (plural Patmiots)

1. An inhabitant of the Greek island of Patmos.
   • Architectural Digest v.57, p.274, Condé Nast (2000):

     “One of the reasons I bought the house was that it had more cisterns than any other building in town. I dug another two for good measure.” As every Patmiot knows, the island's main problem is its shortage of water. On Patmos, cisterns represent real wealth.
