( February 2007 ) A Day 's journey in pre-modern literature, including the Bible, ancient geographers and ethnographers such as Herodotus, is a measurement of distance. In the Bible, it is not as precisely defined as other Biblical measurements of distance ; the distance has been estimated from 32 to 40 kilometers ( 20 -- 25 miles ). In translation by J.B. Bury ( Priscus, fr. 8 in Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum ) We set out with the barbarians, and arrived at Sardica, which is thirteen days for a fast traveller from Constantinople. From Constantinople - Istanbul to Sofia is 550 -- 720 km distance at a pace between 42 and 55 km / day.
