From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Berea
a city of Macedonia to which Paul with Silas and Timotheus went
when persecuted at Thessalonica (Acts 17:10, 13), and from which
also he was compelled to withdraw, when he fled to the sea-coast
and thence sailed to Athens (14, 15). Sopater, one of Paul's
companions belonged to this city, and his conversion probably
took place at this time (Acts 20:4). It is now called Verria
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
