our English version is a peculiarly unhappy translation.

[116:4] It is worthy of note that she is named before Aquila in Acts
xviii. 18; Rom. xvi. 3; and 2 Tim. iv. 19.

[119:1] That this epistle was written after the second visit appears
from Gal. iv. 13. Mr Ellicott asserts that "the first time" is here the
preferable translation of [Greek: to proteron], and yet, rather
inconsistently, adds, that "no historical conclusions can safely be
drawn from this expression alone." See his "Critical and Grammatical
Commentary on Galatians," iv. 13.
[119:2] Gal. i. 6, iii. 1.
[120:1] Gal. ii. 16, iv. 1-4, v. 1.
[120:2] 1 Cor. xvi. 7; 2 Cor. xii. 14, xiii. 1.
[120:3] The Acts take no notice of various parts of his early career as
a preacher. Compare Acts ix. 20-26 with Gal. i. 17.
[120:4] 2 Cor. xi. 25.
[120:5] 2 Cor. xi. 26.
[120:6] Titus i. 5.
[120:7] See Titus i. 6-11, ii. 1, 7, 8, 15, iii. 8-11. The reasons
assigned in support of a later date for the writing of this epistle do
not appear at all satisfactory. Paul directs the evangelist (Titus iii.
12) to come to him to Nicopolis, for he had "determined there to
winter." This Nicopolis was in Greece, in the province of Achaia, and we
know that Paul wintered there in A.D. 57-58. Acts xx. 2, 3. See Schaff's
"Apostolic Church," i. 390.
[120:8] 2 Cor. ii. 13, vii. 6, 13, viii. 6, 16, 23, xii. 18; Gal. ii.
1, 3.
[121:1] Acts xix. 10.
[121:2] See Col. iv. 13, 15, 16. These churches were not, however,
founded by Paul. See Col. ii. 1.
[121:3] "This was the largest of the Greek temples. The area of the
Parthenon at Athens was _not one fourth_ of that of the temple of
Ephesus."--_Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, Art._
EPHESUS.
[121:4] Conybeare and Howson, ii. 72.
[121:5] Acts xix. 35.
[122:1] Conybeare and Howson, ii. 73. Minucius Felix in his Octavius
speaks of Diana as represented "at Ephesus with many distended breasts
ranged in tiers."
[122:2] Conybeare and Howson, ii. 13.
