NET © Notes

tn On the debate over what the name “Elymas” means, see BDAG 320 s.v. ᾿Ελύμας. The magician’s behavior is more directly opposed to the faith than Simon Magus’ was.

sn A parenthetical note by the author.

sn The proconsul was the Roman official who ruled over a province traditionally under the control of the Roman senate.
