[27] 'The zeal of its inhabitants for philosophy and general culture is
such that they have surpassed even Athens and Alexandria and all other
cities where schools of philosophy can be mentioned. And its
pre-eminence in this respect is so great because there the students are
all townspeople, and strangers do not readily settle there.' Strabo,
xiv. v. 13. I do not suppose that St. Paul received any formal
education in Greek schools at Tarsus. But I think we must assume that
at some period St. Paul had sufficient contact with Gentile educated
opinion, whether at Tarsus or elsewhere, to be acquainted with
widely-spread religious and philosophical tendencies.

[43] 'From the fifth to the tenth hour' (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.), an early
addition to the text of the Acts tells us; i. e. after work hours, when
the school would naturally be vacant and St. Paul would have finished
his manual labour at tent-making. Ramsay, _l.c._ p. 276.

connexion with Ephesus by Strabo, xiv. 1, 22, and Pseudo-Heracleitus,
