1. Commentators have identified this expulsion with that reported in Acts 18:2, when Aquila and Priscilla were among the refugees.
2. Cranfield notes that the "only ancient writer to give a precise date for this expulsion of the Jews by Claudius is Augustine's friend, Orosius, whose Historia adversus paganos was written early in the fifth century. He assigns it to the ninth year of Claudius . . . His dating is generally accepted. It suits admirably the relation of Acts 18.2 (where this same expulsion is mention) to the occasion of Paul's appearance before Gallio (Acts 18:12ff) . . ."
