Acts 18:2. A Jew born at Pontus, in Asia Minor. Being driven from Rome by a decree of the government requiring all Jews to leave that city, he and his wife, Priscilla, came to Corinth, and were dwelling there at the time of Paul's first visit to that city. Acts 18:1. They were of like occupation (tent-makers), and Paul was received and hospitably entertained at Aquila's house; and they also accompanied him from Corinth to Ephesus. On some occasion they rendered Paul very important service, and a very warm friendship existed between them. Rom 16:3-5. See Apollos. AR, and AR OF MO'AB. Num 21:28. The chief city of Moab, on the east of the Salt Sea; called also Aroer, Deut 2:36; sometimes used for the whole land of Moab, Deut 2:29; burned by Sihon. Num 21:26-30. It has been placed at Rabbah or Rabbath, but good authorities regard it as a different city, and fix Ar on the Arnon, 10 or 12 miles north of Rabbah, at the Wady Lejum. See Rabbah.
