 {They became aware of it} (sunidontes). Second aorist
(ingressive) active participle of sunora(935c) (suneidon), old
word to see together, to become conscious of as already in
 12:12 . In the N.T. only by Luke and Paul. {Fled}
(katephugon). Second aorist (effective) active indicative of
katapheug(935c), old verb, but in the N.T. only here and  Heb 6:18 .
Paul and Barnabas had no idea of remaining to be stoned (lynched)
by this mob. It is a wise preacher who always knows when to stand
his ground and when to leave for the glory of God. Paul and
Barnabas were following the directions of the Lord Jesus given to
the twelve on their special tour of Galilee ( Mt 10:23 ). Lystra
and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia (still part of the Province of
Galatia, though in another _Regio_), not far from the base of the
Black Mountain. Professor Sterrett has apparently identified
Lystra by an inscription about six hours (18 miles)
south-southwest from Iconium near the village Khatyn Serai and
Derbe probably near the village Losta or Zosta though its
location is really not known. Lystra had been made a colony in
B.C. 6 and Derbe was the frontier city of the Roman empire in the
southeast. These are the only cities mentioned, but they were of
importance and show that Paul kept to his plan of going to
centres of influence. The new imperial road from Antioch and
Iconium reached these cities. {The region round about} (	(886e)
perich(9372)on) was "a high table land, ill-watered, bleak, but
suited for sheep pasture" (Page).
