a city of Lycaonia, the native place of Timothy. The Apostle
Paul and Barnabas having preached here, and healed a cripple, were taken
for gods. But so fickle are human praise and popular encomiums, that, in
the space of a few hours, those who had been deemed gods were regarded
as less than mortals, and were stoned by the very persons who so lately
deified them. See Acts xiv.
