Note 3 at Ac 28:13: Puteoli is an ancient city located on the Bay of Naples. It had the closest accessible harbor to Rome; therefore, Paul and his company landed there and proceeded to Rome by land. Paul found Christians there who were possibly converts of Aquila and Priscilla (see note 2 at Ac 18:2). Puteoli still exists but is now called Pozzuoli.
