(fee' nihx) Place name perhaps meaning, “date palm.” Port on the southeast coast of Crete where Paul and the ship's crew hoped to reach for winter harbor (Acts 27:12 ). Phoenix is often identified with Port Loutro, which, however, faces the wrong direction to offer shelter from winter storms. Phoenix is better identified with some point on Phinika Bay to the west of Loutro.
