Where Lydia appears in Scripture

Acts 16

καί τις γυνὴ ὀνόματι Λυδία πορφυρόπωλις πόλεως Θυατείρων σεβομένη τὸν θεόν ἤκουεν ἧς ὁ κύριος διήνοιξεν τὴν καρδίαν προσέχειν τοῖς λαλουμένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ Παύλου
14
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
ἐξελθόντες δὲ ἐκ τῆς φυλακῆς εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν Λυδίαν καὶ ἰδόντες τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς παρεκάλεσαν αὐτοῦς καὶ ἐξῆλθον
40
And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
