Lycaonia, inland region of south-central Asia Minor
Lycaonia was a plateau region in south-central Asia Minor, inhabited by a distinct ethnic group with their own language. Important cities included Lystra, Derbe, and Iconium. Acts 14:6 mentions Paul and Barnabas fleeing to the Lycaonian cities during their first missionary journey, encountering both hospitality and hostility in this culturally mixed frontier region.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Acts 14:6 records Paul and Barnabas fleeing persecution in Iconium to reach the cities of Lycaonia—Lystra and Derbe. This region's cultural distinctiveness is evident in Acts 14:11, where locals spoke Lycaonian after witnessing Paul's miracle. The multilingual glosses (Lykaonia, Lykaonía, Lycaonie) preserve the geographical designation for this inland Anatolian territory, significant in early Christian mission expansion. 1×
