Next Verse

Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next [day] to Neapolis;

Note 4 at Acts 16:11: Samothracia was a compound Greek word meaning Samos of Thrace. It was an island in the Aegean Sea, 38 miles south of Thrace, a country east of Macedonia (see note 1 at v. 9, this page). It is about 30 square miles in area and has a mountain 5000 feet high.

Note 5 at Acts 16:11: The name Neapolis means new city. It was the seaport of Philippi (see note ? at v. 12, this page) being located 10 miles east-south- east of the city. Neapolis was the first place in Europe that Paul visited.
