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)

We came to Myra, a city of Lycia.—The city lay about two miles and a half from the mouth of the river Andriacus. It had been at one time the metropolis of Lycia, and the remains of a theatre and an aqueduct remain to attest its former stateliness.
