Gallio Inscription
Discovered: Delphi, Greece
From: (c. AD 51)
Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, and evidence of him was found in Delphi, Greece. The inscription (called both the "Delphi Inscription" and the "Gallio Inscription"), is by emperor Claudius. In it he names "My friend and proconsul L. Junius Gallio."
The inscription is dated to AD 51-52.
"But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment-seat,
saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, 'If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.'
And he drove them from the judgment-seat."
Acts 18 12-16
