Pisid'ia. (pitchy). Pisidia 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, that is, both in going from Perga to Iconium, Acts 13:13-14; Acts 13:51, and in returning. Acts 14:21; Acts 14:24-25. Compare 2 Timothy 3:11. It is probable, also, that he traversed the northern part of the district, with Silas and Timotheus, on the second missionary journey, Acts 18:8, but the word Pisidia does not occur, except in reference to the former journey.
