Adramyttium: A city of Asia Minor on the coast of Mysia, which in early times was
called AEolis. The ship in which Paul embarked at Caesarea belonged
to this city
(Acts 27:2) He was conveyed in it only to Myra, in Lycia,
whence he sailed in an Alexandrian ship to Italy. It was a rare thing
for a ship to sail from any port of Palestine direct for Italy. It
still bears the name Adramyti, and is a place of some traffic.
