PONTUS - P>@ - a large district in the north of Asia Minor, extending along the coast of the Pontus Euxinus Sea (Pontus), from which circumstance the name was derived. It corresponds nearly to the modern Trebizond. It is three times mentioned in the New Testament
kjv@Acts:2:9 kjv@Acts:18:2; kjv@1Peter:1:1) All these passages agree in showing that there were many Jewish residents in the district. As to the annals of Pontus, the one brilliant passage of its history is the life of the great Mithridates. Under Nero the whole region was made of Roman province, bearing the name of Pontus. It was conquered by the Turks in A.D. 1461, and is still under their dominion.

easton:



Pontus @ a province of Asia Minor, stretching along the southern coast of the Euxine Sea, corresponding nearly to the modern province of Trebizond. In the time of the apostles it was a Roman province. Strangers from this province were at Jerusalem at Pentecost kjv@Acts:2:9), and to "strangers scattered throughout Pontus," among others, Peter addresses his first epistle ( kjv@1Peter:1:1). It was evidently the resort of many Jews of the Dispersion. Aquila was a native of Pontus kjv@Acts:18:2).
