a province of Asia Minor, accounted a part of Cappadocia, having Pisidia on the west, and Cilicia on the south. In it were the cities of Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, mentioned in the travels of St. Paul. The former was the capital, and the country itself at that time a Roman province. The "speech of Lycaonia," mentioned Acts 14:11 , is supposed to have been a corrupt Greek, intermingled with many oriental words.
