  Cappadocia, Cappadocians  
<< Caphtor, Caphtorim      Captain. >>

(province of good horses ), ( Acts 2:3 ; 1 Peter 1:1 ) the largest province in ancient Asia Minor. Cappadocia is an elevated table-land intersected by mountain chains. It seems always to have been deficient in wood, but it was a good grain country, and particularly famous for grazing. Its Roman metropolis was Caesarea. The native Cappadocians seem to have originally belonged to the Syrian stock.
