Acts13:8
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
This is another name of him that was called Barjesus, which was not unusual, as Simon Bar-jonah, Matth. 16.17. This, Elymas ▪ may be taken appe[illegible: 2 letters]atively, and
signifies the Magician or Sorcerer; but being it was a proper name unto others we read of, it may be so here.
