SCRIPTURE

"And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia." — Acts 27:5 (ASV)

The sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia. The sea which lies off the coast from these two regions. For their situation, see the Map, and Notes, Acts 6:9; Acts 13:13.

We came to Myra, a city of Lycia. Lycia was a province in the south-western part of Asia Minor, having Phrygia and Pisidia on the north, the Mediterranean on the south, Pamphylia on the east, and Caria on the west.
