- Apostle Aquila of the Seventy, and St Priscilla (1st c.).
- He, along with his wife Priscilla, is mentioned in the book of Acts
and in St Paul's Epistle to the Romans. He and his wife were Jews who
moved to Corinth when the Emperor Claudius expelled all Jews from Italy.
They were working as tentmakers in Corinth when they met and worked
with St Paul, also a tentmaker by trade, who brought them to faith in
Christ. From that time onward they worked diligently to spread the
Gospel of Christ. The Prologue says that they died at the hands of pagans, the Great Horologion that the circumstances of their repose are unknown.
