Syr'acuse. The celebrated city, on the eastern coast of Sicily. "The city in its splendor was the largest and richest that the Greeks possessed, in any part of the world, being 22 miles in circumference." St. Paul arrived thither, in an Alexandrian ship from Melita, on his voyage to Rome. Acts 28:12. The site of Syracuse rendered it a convenient place for the African corn-ships to touch at, for the harbor was an excellent one, and the fountain Arethusa, in the island furnished an unfailing supply of excellent water.
