Pamphylia
Pamphulia is a geographical place-name used for travel, location, and origin in Acts.
The term consistently identifies a geographical place in clauses of arrival, travel, proximity by sea, location, and departure: Perga is rendered as being “of Pamphylia” in Acts 13:13, while other verses place people or travel in relation to it.

The accusative singular form occurs where the APB renders arrival “to Pamphylia” in Acts 14:24, sailing off it in Acts 27:5, and its inclusion among named places in Acts 2:10. The genitive singular form marks Perga as “of Pamphylia” in Acts 13:13 and identifies the place from which someone had withdrawn in Acts 15:38.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Pamphylia” throughout, in phrases of location, movement, sea travel, and departure. These phrases confirm the verse contexts rather than supplying a separate definition.
