deputy of the country. Greek. anthupatos. Here, verses: Act_13:8, Act_13:12, Act_13:38. This is the Greek word for proconsul. Cyprus had been an imperial province, governed by a propraetor, but according to Strabo Augustus transferred it to the Senate, and the governor would be now a proconsul. The title "proconsul" has been found on a coin of Cyprus of A.D. 62, and a slab has been discovered at Soli in Cyprus, with the name Paulus,
proconsul. One of the proofs of Luke's accuracy.

man. Greek. aner, App-123.
who = he.
