  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Patmos 
  a  small  rocky  and  barren  island,  one  of  the  group  called  the 
  "Sporades,"  in  the  AEgean  Sea.  It  is  mentioned  in  Scripture  only 
  in  Rev.  1:9.  It  was  on  this  island,  to  which  John  was  banished 
  by  the  emperor  Domitian  (A.D.  95),  that  he  received  from  God  the 
  wondrous  revelation  recorded  in  his  book.  This  has  naturally 
  invested  it  with  the  deepest  interest  for  all  time.  It  is  now 
  called  Patmo.  (See  {JOHN}.) 
 
 
  From  Hitchcock's  Bible  Names  Dictionary  (late  1800's)  [hitchcock]:
