Paul’s first convert on Cyprus. The name of the Roman governor of Cyprus, Sergius Paulus, and his title, proconsul, were found inscribed on this stone near Paphos in Cyprus, where, according to Acts 13:7, Paul converted him to Christianity during his first missionary visit. The name is also attested on a second stone found in Rome (not shown), where the governor apparently returned when his term had expired.
