From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Derbe
     a small town on the eastern part of the upland plain of
     Lycaonia, about 20 miles from Lystra. Paul passed through Derbe
     on his route from Cilicia to Iconium, on his second missionary
     journey (Acts 16:1), and probably also on his third journey
     (18:23; 19:1). On his first journey (14:20, 21) he came to Derbe


     from the other side; i.e., from Iconium. It was the native place
     of Gaius, one of Paul's companions (20:4). He did not here
     suffer persecution (2 Tim. 3:11).
