Trogyllium

VIEW:21 DATA:01-04-2020
TROGYLLIUM.—According to the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] (Act_20:15), which here follows the Western text, St. Paul’s ship, after touching at Samos, and before putting in at Miletus, ‘tarried at Trogyllium.’ This statement is no part of the NT text as now commonly read, but it is not impossible, and perhaps embodies a real tradition. Trogyllium is a promontory which projects from the mainland and overlaps the eastern extremity of Samos, so as to form a strait less than a mile wide. There is an anchorage near, still called ‘St. Paul’s Port.’

A small town at the foot of Mycale promontory, opposite the island Samos. The strait between is scarcely one mile across, and the current is rapid. Paul stayed a night here, probably in the ship, at the close of his third missionary journey on his way to Jerusalem. From Trogyllium he sailed to Miletus. Close by is a roadstead still called Paul's port. The darkness, owing to its being the time of dark moon, was the occasion of the ship's stay in this sheltered spot (Act_20:6; Act_20:15).

Trogyl'l-ium. Trogyllium is the rocky extremity, of the ridge of Mycale, exactly opposite Samos. Act_20:15. A little to the east of the extreme point, there is an anchorage, which is still called St. Paul's port. See Samos.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


trṓ-jil?i-um, trṓ-gil?i-um (Τρωγύλλιον, Trōgúllion): According to Act_20:15 the King James Version, the American Revised Version margin, the ship in which Paul sailed to Caesatea on his return from his 3rd missionary journey tarried at Trogyllium. Several of the early manuscripts omit the words, ?tarried at Trogyllium? (Westcott and Hort omit as ?Western? interpolation); yet, whether the words belonged to the text or not, Paul evidently passed the promontory, and probably stopped there. From the coast near Miletus the promontory projects into the sea toward the island of Samos; the strait separating the mainland from the island is scarcely a mile wide. It was in this strait which is now called Kutchuk Boghaz by the Turks that the battle of Mycale was fought in 479 BC. The promontory now bears the name of Santa Maria, and the place of anchorage is called Saint Paul's port.

Trogyl?lium, a town and promontory on the western coast of Asia Minor, opposite Samos, at the foot of Mount Mycale (Strabo, xiv. p. 636). It is mentioned in Act_20:15.

(Τρωγύλλιον, the rocky extremity of the ridge of Mycale, which is called- thus in the New Test. (Act_20:15) and by Ptolemy (5, 2), and Trogilium (Τρωγίλιον) by Strabo (14, 636). It is directly opposite Samos (q.v.). The channel is extremely narrow. Strabo (loc. cit.) makes it about a mile broad, and this' is confirmed by the Admiralty charts (1530 and 1555). Paul sailed through this channel on his way to Jerusalem at the close of his third missionary journey. (Act_20:15). The navigation of this coast is intricate; and it can be gathered from Act_20:6, with subsequent notices of the days spent on the voyage, that it was the time of dark moon. Thus the night was spent at Trogyllium. It is interesting to observe that a little to the east of the extreme point there is an anchorage which is still called St. Paul's Port. Pliny refers to three small islands lying about Trogyllium, and names them Sandalion, Psilon, and Argennon (Hist. Nat. 5, 37). The port where Paul anchored is generally considered to be that sheltered by Sandalion; but the port now known as the Port of St. Paul is that protected by the island of Nero, the ancient Argennon (Lewin, St. Paul, 2, 89). SEE PAUL.
