---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary

Lycaonia - An inland province of Asia Minor, on the west of Cappadocia and the south of Galatia. It was a Roman province, and its chief towns were Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. The "speech of Lycaonia" (Acts 14:11) was probably the ancient Syriac words. Paul preached in this region, and revisited it (Acts 16:1; Acts 18:23; Acts 19:1).
