Trogyllium
(, WH [Note: H Westcott-Horts Greek Testament.] )
Trogyllium was a promontory formed by the western termination of Mt. Mycale, on the coast of Asia Minor, about equidistant from Ephesus and Miletus. It runs out into the sea just opposite the island of Samos, from which it is separated by a channel less than a mile wide (Strabo, XIV. i. 12, 13). Its present name is Santa Maria. According to the Textus Receptus of Act 20:15, St. Pauls ship, after leaving its anchorage at Chios, struck across to Samos, and, having tarried at Trogyllium, came the following day to Miletus. This in itself is likely to have happened, and, though the words are omitted by the great Manuscripts ( ABCE), they are retained by Meyer, Alford, Blass, and Ramsay on the strength of DHLP and many ancient versions. The reason for their omission may have been either the mistaken idea in the mind of the copyists that the text located Trogyllium in Samos, or the difficulty of imagining two night-stoppages, one in the harbour of Samos and another at Trogyllium, which is only 4 or 5 miles from Samos. But a night spent at Samos is quite imaginary, for the nautical term does not mean arrived at (Authorized Version ) or touched at (Revised Version ). All that it implies is a crossing from one point to another; and, while Samos was merely sighted and passed, Trogyllium was the resting-place. An anchorage just to the east of the extreme point of Trogyllium now bears the name of St. Pauls Port (W. J. Conybeare and J. S. Howson, The Life and Epistles of St. Paul, London, 1877, ii. 264 n. [Note: . note.] ).

Trogyllium
(, the rocky extremity of the ridge of Mycale, which is called- thus in the New Test. (Act 20:15) and by Ptolemy (5, 2), and Trogilium () by Strabo (14, 636). It is directly opposite Samos (q.v.). The channel is extremely narrow. Strabo (loc. cit.) makes it about a mile broad, and this’ is confirmed by the Admiralty charts (1530 and 1555). Paul sailed through this channel on his way to Jerusalem at the close of his third missionary journey. (Act 20:15). The navigation of this coast is intricate; and it can be gathered from Act 20:6, with subsequent notices of the days spent on the voyage, that it was the time of dark moon. Thus the night was spent at Trogyllium. It is interesting to observe that a little to the east of the extreme point there is an anchorage which is still called St. Paul’s Port. Pliny refers to three small islands lying about Trogyllium, and names them Sandalion, Psilon, and Argennon (Hist. Nat. 5, 37). The port where Paul anchored is generally considered to be that sheltered by Sandalion; but the port now known as the Port of St. Paul is that protected by the island of Nero, the ancient Argennon (Lewin, St. Paul, 2, 89).

Trogyllium

Trogyllium
A small town at the foot of Mycale promontory, opposite the island Samos. The strait between is scarcely one mile across, and the current is rapid. Paul stayed a night here, probably in the ship, at the close of his third missionary journey on his way to Jerusalem. From Trogyllium he sailed to Miletus. Close by is a roadstead still called Paul’s port. The darkness, owing to its being the time of dark moon, was the occasion of the ship’s stay in this sheltered spot (Act 20:6; Act 20:15).

Trogyllium
TROGYLLIUM.According to the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] (Act 20:15), which here follows the Western text, St. Pauls ship, after touching at Samos, and before putting in at Miletus, tarried at Trogyllium. This statement is no part of the NT text as now commonly read, but it is not impossible, and perhaps embodies a real tradition. Trogyllium is a promontory which projects from the mainland and overlaps the eastern extremity of Samos, so as to form a strait less than a mile wide. There is an anchorage near, still called St. Pauls Port.

Trogyllium
tro-jili-um, tro-gili-um (, Trogullion): According to Act 20:15 the King James Version, the American Revised Version margin, the ship in which Paul sailed to Caesatea on his return 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.
