derbe - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Derbe
  a small town on the eastern part of the upland plain of
  Lycaonia, about 20 miles from Lystra. Paul passed through Derbe
  on his route from Cilicia to Iconium, on his second missionary
  journey (Acts 16:1), and probably also on his third journey
  (18:23; 19:1). On his first journey (14:20, 21) he came to Derbe
  from the other side; i.e., from Iconium. It was the native place
  of Gaius, one of Paul's companions (20:4). He did not here
  suffer persecution (2 Tim. 3:11).
