Acts 9:30

Which when the brethren knew
When the members of the church heard of it, by some means or another:

they brought him down to Caesarea;
not that which was before called Strato's tower, the same as in ( Acts 8:40 ) but Caesarea Philippi, mentioned in ( Matthew 16:13 ) the Syriac version adds, "by night", and some copies, "and sent him forth to Tarsus"; a city of Cilicia, his own native place, where he might be more safe, and also useful among his friends and acquaintance; ( Galatians 1:21 ) .
