‘zu seinem Mutter”). See Deissmann’s striking note, Bibelstudien, p. 185, on the fact that here, where John Mark leaves Paul for Jerusalem, he is simply ‘“*John,” his Jewish name; in xv. 39 he δοες with Barnabas to Cyprus, and on that occasion only he is described by his Gentile name “Mark” alone. On the ‘perils of rivers, and perils of robbers,” see Ramsay, Church in the Roman Empire, p- 23, and in connection with the above, pp. 62, 65, also C. and H. (smaller edition), p. 129, Hausrath, Neutest. Zeitgeschichte, iii., 133.
Ver. 14. διελθόντες: in this journey northwards to Antioch the Apostles would probably follow the one definite route of commerce between Perga and that city; the natural and easy course would lead them to Adada, now Kara Βανίο, and the dedication there of a church to St. Paul may point to the belief that he had visited the place on his way to Antioch (Ramsay, Church in the Roman Empire, p. 21, and Zocxler, in loco, who agrees here with Ramsay’s view). Although disagreeing with C. and Η. in bringing the Apostles to Adada, Ramsay fully agrees with them in emphasising the dangers of the journey across the Pisidian highlands, and ‘in re- ferring to his travels from Perga across Taurus to Antioch and back his perils of rivers, and perils of robbers, 2 Cor. xi. 26 (see too Wendt, in loco (1890), in agreement with Ramsay, whose instances of the dangers of the way, from the no- tices of the inscriptions, should be con- sulted, u. 5.).---᾽Αντιόχειαν τῆς Πισιδίας, see critical notes. If we adopt with R.V., etc., A. τὴν Πισιδίαν- απ adjective, τὴν Πισιδικήν, “ Pisidian Antioch,” or, as it was also called, Antioch towards Pisidia, or on the side of Pisidia, to distinguish it from Antioch on the Maeander, or Carian Antioch. At this period Antioch did not belong to Pisidia at all (Strabo, ΡΡ. 557, 569, 577), but later the term Pisidia was widened, and so the expres- sion ‘Antioch of Pisidia” came into vogue. Ptolemy, v., 4, 11, employs it
