This place shows up in 2 Timothy 4:10: “for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
2 Timothy 4:10
“for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.”
