Pisidia
        (pitchy) was a district in Asia Minor north of Pamphylia, and reached to and was partly included in Phrygia. Thus Antioch in Pisidia was sometimes called a Phrygian town. St. Paul passed through Pisidia twice, with Barnabas, on the first missionary journey, i.e., both in going from Perga to Iconium, Ac 13:13,14,51 and in returning. Ac 14:21,24,25 comp. 2Tim 3:11
        It is probable also that he traversed the northern part of the district, with Silas and Timotheus, on the second missionary journey, Ac 18:8 but the word Pisidia does not occur except in reference to the former journey.
