:TEXT: "and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy" : p74 S A B Dc E P Psi 33 614 945 1241 1739 2495 Byz two lat vg syr cop : KJV ASV RSV NASV NIV NEBn TEV RANK: CNOTES: "and Gaius of Doberus, and Timothy" : D* two lat : : There is an apparent contradiction between Acts 19:29, which identifies Gaius as a Macedonian, and this verse, which says that Gaius was from Derbe. To remove this apparent contradiction, a few copyists changed the name "Derbe," a city of southern Galatia, to "Doberus," a Macedonian military post-town near Mt. Pangaios, on the road from Philippi. Although it is possible that two different men are named Gaius, it is more likely that Gaius was born in one area and had made his home in the other.
