What is Pisidia?
PISID'IA
(pitchy), a district of Asia Minor. The boundaries varied at different times. It lay to the north of Pamphylia and to the south of Phrygia, and was during the republic contained in the province of Cilicia. The ranges of the Taurus Mountains extended through it, and the mountains are cut by deep defiles, through which dash rapid torrents. The inhabitants also were rough highlanders, famous for their warlike character, and long maintaining their independence. They were also notorious robbers, and in this region Paul may have been "in perils of waters, in perils of robbers." 2 Cor 11:26. Paul twice visited Pisidia, passing directly north from Perga to Antioch, Acts 13:14, and again returning through Pisidia to Pamphylia. Acts 14:21-24. See Antioch.
