“…These were watered by precipitation runoff from Karadağ as well as streams flowing down from the Taurus, like the Hacıpasa Dere, which passes within a few metres of the base of Kerti Höyük. 52 Separating Lystra from Derbe was a sparsely populated, semi-arid plain where rainfall amounts drop significantly and temperatures rise sharply in the summer. 53 A direct route between the two cities would have needed to transit this plain for much of its course.…”

Why Derbe? An Unlikely Lycaonian City for Paul’s Ministry

This article discusses Paul's visit to Derbe contextually within the first journey as well as his subsequent visits to this minor Lycaonian city. It reviews the difficulty of earlier travellers and scholars such as Davis, Sterrett, and Ramsay to localise the site. The discovery of two inscriptions naming Derbe have more precisely situated the site, yet some ambiguity remains. Paul's projected routes between Lystra and Derbe as presented in maps and atlases are reviewed. The authors' autopsy of this area provides fresh insights into Paul's route between the two cities. The article closes with a suggested reason why Paul visited Derbe on his first journey and thereby founded a community of believers there.

Scholarship is divided whether Paul's Letter to the Galatians addresses ethnic Galatians in or around Ankyra (North Galatian hypothesis) or other inhabitants in the south of the Roman province (South Galatian hypothesis). The South Galatian hypothesis, so it is argued, should no longer draw on a lex sacra from Pisidian Pednelissos, which was traditionally dated to the 1 st century (BC or AD), though should rather be considered early-Hellenistic. In this, citizens allegedly self-identify as πόλις Γαλατῶν (SEG II 710, l. 9). Γαλατῶν is neither an ethnic nor a compliment of πόλις, but defines the ten candidates that the community is to preselect from among the sanctuary's neokoroi (Γαλατῶν δε[κ]άδ[ος συναχθείσης]). A lot was then to decide which of them would be the next Galato, the most prominent sacred official of Pednelissos, probably the priestess of the (Eleusinian) triad Pluto(s), Kore and Demeter.

It is time to review what we have learned from the AAP and our survey work so far. Euchaïta presents a valuable example of a provincial urban settlement which evolved and changed as its political, economic and strategic role shift ed across many centuries. As was noted in the Introduction, its importance lies especially in the fact that we can follow its development, even if tenuously at times, from village , to town or 'city' , to military base and back to village again across the period from the fourth to the sixteenth century, a fact that makes it unique in the history of Anatolia. We are especially privileged in this respect because we possess both written sources and texts of various types, including epigraphic material, as well as the results of the area survey, whose results this volume presents. Although the written material is limited, it is nevertheless a good deal more than can be said for many settlements of Anatolia. In addition, we have also the preliminary results of a more detailed archaeological investigation of parts of the settlement and the fortifi ed installation behind it, of the archaeology and environmental history of its district, and of the ceramic evidence which helps us to situate Euchaïta in a wider context. In the following, we will examine the historical and archaeological evidence we have now assembled through the survey for the history of Euchaïta from its fi rst appearance in the written record, in the fourth century CE until its eff ective disappearance as a settlement of any importance aft er the Seljuk and Turkmen occupation of the area in the 1070s, and its reappearance in Ottoman fi scal documents as a small and unpretentious rural settlement.Th e village of Avkat/ Beyözü today consists of just over 320 households, with a highly seasonal habitation pattern. During the period of the survey only c. 130 people were in residence, with some 40 living much of the time in Çorum , some 40 km distant, 20 in Mecitözü , 6 km distant, over 80 in Istanbul , some 7 in Ankara , 7 in Izmir and 20 in western Europe. Many members of the younger generation work in either Ankara or Istanbul across the summer , but are present for key agricultural activities, notably sowing and harvesting periods as well as the annual sale of produce to government agencies. Several other families have members working abroad -Holland seemed the most frequently mentioned, and two at least among
