Ikonion is a place named as a destination, setting, source of visitors, and point of return in the narrated events.

The term consistently identifies a place: people go there, act there, come from there, return there, or are described in relation to it. Its case forms mark these differing clause relations without showing separate lexical meanings.

    The accusative form marks movement toward the place in Acts 13:51 and Acts 14:21, where the APB renders people going “to Iconium” and later returning among named places. The dative form locates events or reputation in Acts 14:1, Acts 16:2, and 2 Timothy 3:11; the APB renders activity “in Iconium,” while Acts 14:19 names people coming “from Antioch and Iconium.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the name in location and movement phrases, including “to Iconium,” “in Iconium,” and “from Antioch and Iconium.” These phrases confirm the clauses' overall place relations rather than independently defining the term.
