									    		Ῥήγιον, 
Ρ᾽ηγιου, 
τό, 
Rhegium (now 
Reggio), a town and promontory at the extremity of the Bruttian peninsula, opposite Messana (Messina) in Sicily; (it seems to have got its name from the Greek verb 
ῤήγνυμι, because at that point Sicily was believed to have been 'rent away' from Italy; so 
Pliny observes, hist. nat. 3, 8 (14); (
Diodorus Siculus 4, 85; 
Strabo 6, 258; 
Philo de incorrupt. mund. § 26; others. See 
Pape, Eigennamen, under the word)): 
Acts 28:13.
