Description
Pamphylia in the text
Pamphylia was a Roman province located on the southern coast of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). It is mentioned several times in the New Testament, particularly in connection with Paul's missionary journeys. On the day of Pentecost, Jews from Pamphylia were among those present in Jerusalem who heard the apostles speaking in their own languages (Act.2.10).
During Paul's first missionary journey, he and Barnabas traveled to Perga in Pamphylia, where John Mark left them to return to Jerusalem (Act.13.13). Later, Paul and Barnabas passed through Pamphylia again on their way to Antioch (Act.14.24). In his second missionary journey, Paul chose not to take John Mark with him because he had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia (Act.15.38).
The province of Pamphylia was known for its coastal cities, such as Perga and Attalia (modern-day Antalya), which served as important centers for trade and commerce. The region was also known for its rugged terrain, with the Taurus Mountains running through the northern part of the province.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
The pattern
Where Pamphylia is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
5 verses across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in Acts (5).
