Ptolemais was the later Greek name for Accho, the coastal city where Paul briefly stayed in Acts. It is important because it preserves the continued life of an ancient harbor under a Hellenistic name. First appears in Acts 21:7.1
AI summary: Ptolemais matters because biblical geography often reappears under later imperial names without losing continuity of place. The city belongs to the coastal route of Paul's travels.1
