TROGYLLIUM . According to the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ( Acts 20:15 ), which here follows the Western text, St. Paul’s ship, after touching at Samos, and before putting in at Miletus, ‘tarried at Trogyllium.’ This statement is no part of the NT text as now commonly read, but it is not impossible, and perhaps embodies a real tradition. Trogyllium is a promontory which projects from the mainland and overlaps the eastern extremity of Samos, so as to form a strait less than a mile wide. There is an anchorage near, still called ‘St. Paul’s Port.’

A. Souter.
