Where is Trogyllium in the Bible?
Trogyllium was a coastal town located near Ephesus in the region of Asia Minor, modern-day Turkey. It appears in the Bible in Acts 20:15, where Paul's ship anchored there during his third missionary journey as he traveled toward Jerusalem. The town was situated on a promontory that projected into the sea between the mainland and the island of Samos, in a strait less than a mile wide. While some early biblical manuscripts omit the specific mention of Paul tarrying at Trogyllium, scholars agree that Paul likely stopped there or at least passed by the promontory during this important journey that marked his return from his missionary work.

ISBE 1915 (Public Domain)eturn from his 3rd missionary journey tarried at Trogyllium. Several of the early manuscripts omit the words, "tarried at Trogyllium" (Westcott and Hort omit as "Western" interpolation); yet, whether the words belonged to the text or not, Paul evidently passed the promontory, and probably stopped there. From the coast near Miletus the promontory projects into the sea toward the island of Samos; the strait separating the mainland from the island is scarcely a mile wide. It was in this strait which is now called Kutchuk Boghaz by the Turks that the battle of Mycale was fought in 479 BC. The promontory now bears the name of Santa Maria, and the place of anchorage is called Saint Paul's port.
