Chios, an island in the Aegean Sea (off the coast of Asia Minor)
Chios was a large island in the Aegean Sea off the western coast of Asia Minor, famed in antiquity for its wine and as the claimed birthplace of Homer. Luke mentions it briefly in Acts when narrating Paul's return journey to Jerusalem: sailing from Asia, 'we sailed to the point opposite Chios' and the next day arrived at Samos. This geographical detail tracks Paul's island-hopping route through the Aegean, giving readers a sense of the apostle's travels and the connected network of islands that facilitated ancient Mediterranean navigation and commerce.

1. sense 1 — Chios, an island in the Aegean Sea. Acts 20:15 records Paul's travel itinerary: 'sailing from there [Assos], we came the following day opposite Chios (Chiou), and the next day we touched at Samos.' The multilingual glosses preserve the place name—Spanish 'Quíos,' English 'Chios.' This was a major island known for wine production and cultural significance. Luke's careful navigation notes provide a concrete sense of Paul's journey and the maritime geography connecting Asia Minor, the Greek islands, and the mainland. 1×
