Sa´mos, an island in the Aegean Sea, near the coast of Lydia, in Asia Minor, and separated only by a narrow strait from the promontory which terminates in Cape Trogyllium. The apostle Paul touched at the island in his voyage from Greece to Syria (). Samos contained, some years ago, about 60,000 people, inhabiting eighteen large villages, and about twenty small ones.
