Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Hebrew entries for Τρωγύλλιον, as it is a specific Greek place name mentioned in the New Testament without a direct Hebrew equivalent.

Usage: The term Τρωγύλλιον appears once in the New Testament, in the Book of Acts, as part of the narrative of Paul's travels.

Context: Τρωγύλλιον (Trogullion) is referenced in Acts 20:15, where it is mentioned as a point of passage during the Apostle Paul's third missionary journey. The verse states: "Sailing from there, we arrived the next day opposite Chios. The following day we crossed over to Samos, and on the next day we came to Miletus." The mention of Trogullion is in some manuscripts, indicating a stop or a point of reference near the island of Samos. Trogullion is believed to be a promontory or a coastal area on the western coast of Asia Minor, near the modern-day region of Turkey. Its mention highlights the detailed travel itinerary of Paul and his companions as they journeyed through the Aegean Sea, spreading the message of the Gospel. The specific mention of such locations underscores the historical and geographical context of the early Christian mission.
