In Ro 15'" St. Paul says he has preached the go.spel 'even unto Illyricum.' He is here stating the exterior limit up to which his work had ex- tended ; and there is no reason to understand (contrary to Ac) that he had actually preached in Illyricum. The doubt whether an exterior or a contained limit is meant in geographical ex- pressions is observable in many cases, and must lie determined by the context and by other evi- dence (see, for example, Cities ami Bisho/irics of Phrijgia, i. p. 319 f.).
