LYSTRA (Ancient city) TURKEY
Lystra (Lustra he, or ta), a town of Lycaonia or Isauria, which is
mentioned by Pliny (v. 42: Eth. Lystreni) and Ptolemy (v. 4. § 12), and repeatedly
in the New Testament History. (Acts, xiv. 8, 21; Timoth. iii. 11; comp. Hierocl.
p. 675.) A bishop of Lystra was present at the Council of Chalcedon. Leake (Asia
Minor, p. 102) is inclined to place the town at Khatoun Serai, about 30 miles
south of Iconium; but Hamilton (Researches, vol. ii. p. 313), with more appearance
of probability, identifies its site with the ruins of Kaadagh, which are generally
believed to be the remains of Derbe.
