Note 6 at Ac 27:5: Myra was one of the principal cities of Lycia (see note 7 at this verse) and the city where Paul changed ships on his voyage to Rome. It was built on cliffs about two miles inland but located at the mouth of a navigable river with an excellent harbor.

Note 7 at Ac 27:5: Lycia was the southernmost province of Asia Minor, or the biblical Asia (see note 3 at Ac 16:6). It was bounded on the west by Caria, on the north by Pisidia (Ac 14:24, see note 1 at Ac 13:14), and on the east by Pamphylia (see note 2 at Ac 13:13).

On Paul's third missionary journey, he landed at Patara (see note 3 at Ac 21:1), one of Lycia's principal cities, on his way to Jerusalem. Myra (see note 6 at this verse) was another major city of Lycia where Paul changed ships on his journey to Rome.
