Phrygia (fryj'i-ah), dry, barren. A district of Asia Minor whose limits varied at different times. Within its limits were the cities of Laodicæa, Hierapolis, Colossæ, and Antioch of Pisidia. People from Phrygia were present at Pentecost, Acts 2:10; and the apostle Paul twice traversed the country. Acts 16:6; Acts 18:23. Some converts were made, and we find Paul "strengthening all the disciples." Acts 18:23. At the Council of Nice, a.d. 325, the Phrygian churches were represented by eight bishops, and still more attended the Council of Constantinople, a.d. 381.
