Pamphyl'ia. (of every tribe). One of the coast-regions in the south of Asia
Minor, having Cilicia on the east and Lycia on the west. In St. Paul's time, it
was not only a regular province, but the emperor Claudius had united Lycia with
it, and probably, also a good part of Pisidia.
It was in Pamphylia that St. Paul first entered Asia Minor, after
preaching the gospel in Cyprus. He and Barnabas sailed up the river Cestrus to
Perga. Act_13:13. The two missionaries finally
left Pamphylia by its chief seaport Attalia. Many years afterward, St. Paul
sailed near the coast. Act_27:5.
