Cilicia

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(rolling). A province of Asia Minor. Chief city, Tarsus, birthplace of Paul (Acts 9:11,30; 15:41).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

Province in Asia Minor on the extreme north-east of the Mediterranean, separated from the other provinces by a range of mountains. It was more accessible to Syria by road than to the rest of Asia Minor. There were evidently Gentile believers there, for Cilicia was mentioned in the letter from Jerusalem on the exemption of the Gentiles from keeping the law. Paul and Silas visited the district, confirming the churches (Acts 6:9; Acts 15:23,41; Gal. 1:21).
