Not named in the Bible

The ancient name for Cilicia, though not exactly — Assyrian Ḫilakku is western Cilicia only; the eastern plain is Que, kept separately as Kue.

The Bible names Cilicia at Acts 21:39, Acts 22:3, Galatians 1:21, and those references sit on that page.

Where was it?

One proposed modern location, with the scholarly support recorded for it.
