  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Lycaonia 
  an  inland  province  of  Asia  Minor,  on  the  west  of  Cappadocia  and 
  the  south  of  Galatia.  It  was  a  Roman  province,  and  its  chief 
  towns  were  Iconium,  Lystra,  and  Derbe.  The  "speech  of  Lycaonia" 
  (Acts  14:11)  was  probably  the  ancient  Assyrian  language,  or 
  perhaps,  as  others  think,  a  corrupt  Greek  intermingled  with 
  Syriac  words  Paul  preached  in  this  region,  and  revisited  it 
  (Acts  16:1-6;  18:23;  19:1).
