Illyricum2 parallels

Illyricum , or Illyria , was a country of Europe , lying n and nw of Macedonia , on the eastern coast of the Adriatic gulf , opposite Italy. It was distinguished into two parts; Liburnia north , now Croatia; and Dalmatia south , still retaining the same name. The account of Paul's second visit to the peninsula of Greece

  • Acts 20:1
  • Acts 20:2 says Dr. Paley , leads us to suppose that , in going over Macedonia , he had passed so far to the west , as to come into those parts of the country which were contiguous to Illyricum , if he did not enter Illyricum itself. The history and the Epistle therefore so far agree; and the agreement is much strengthened by a coincidence of time; for much before the time when this epistle was written , he could not have said so , as his route , in his former journey , confined him to the eastern side of the peninsula , a considerable distance from Illyricum
