  Miletus 
  (Miletum,  2  Tim.  4:20),  a  seaport  town  and  the  ancient  capital 
  of  Ionia,  about  36  miles  south  of  Ephesus.  On  his  voyage  from 
  Greece  to  Syria,  Paul  touched  at  this  port,  and  delivered  that 
  noble  and  pathetic  address  to  the  elders  ("presbyters,"  ver.  28) 
  of  Ephesus  recorded  in  Acts  20:15-35.  The  site  of  Miletus  is  now 
  some  10  miles  from  the  coast.  (See  EPHESIANS  EPISTLE  {TO}.)
