[119:1] That this epistle was written after the second visit appears from Gal. iv. 13.  Mr Ellicott asserts that “the first time” is here the preferable translation of [Greek:  to proteron], and yet, rather inconsistently, adds, that “no historical conclusions can safely be drawn from this expression alone.”  See his “Critical and Grammatical Commentary on Galatians,” iv. 13.

[120:7] See Titus i. 6-11, ii. 1, 7, 8, 15, iii. 8-11.  The reasons assigned in support of a later date for the writing of this epistle do not appear at all satisfactory.  Paul directs the evangelist (Titus iii. 12) to come to him to Nicopolis, for he had “determined there to winter.”  This Nicopolis was in Greece, in the province of Achaia, and we know that Paul wintered there in A.D. 57-58.  Acts xx. 2, 3.  See Schaff’s “Apostolic Church,” i. 390.
