Acts27:2

2 And entring into a ship of Adramy t[illegible: 1 letter]ium, we lanched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, one Aristarchus a Macedonian, of Thess[illegible: 1 letter]lonica, being with us.

A City in Mys[illegible: 1 letter]a, a Province in the lesser Asia, almost over-against Mitylene, of a pestilent Air.

The Ship did belong to Adramyttium, and designed a Trading Voyage along the Coasts of Asia.

This Aristarchus seems to have been a man of some note, who accompanied St. Paul (together with Luke the holy Penman of this Book, and of the Gospel so called) thorowout his Journey, and none else that we read of. This Aristarchus was one of them that was laid hold on in the uproar at Ephesus, Ch. 19.29. and having partook of Paul's afflictions in all his travels, was at last his fellow-prisoner at Rome, Col. 4 10.

Of this City mention is made, Chap. 17.1.
