surjection          A function f : A -> B is surjective or onto or a       surjection if f A = B.   I.e. f can return any value in B.       This means that its {image} is its {codomain}.          Only surjections have {right inverses}, f' : B -> A where       f (f' x) = x since if f were not a surjection there would be       elements of B for which f' was not defined.          See also {bijection}, {injection}.          (1995-05-27)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sergius Paulus       a "prudent man" (R.V., "man of understanding"), the deputy       (R.V., "proconsul") of Cyprus (Acts 13:6-13). He became a       convert to Christianity under Paul, who visited this island on       his first mission to the heathen.                A remarkable memorial of this proconsul was recently (1887)       discovered at Rome. On a boundary stone of Claudius his name is       found, among others, as having been appointed (A.D. 47) one of       the curators of the banks and the channel of the river Tiber.       After serving his three years as proconsul at Cyprus, he       returned to Rome, where he held the office referred to. As he is       not saluted in Paul's letter to the Romans, he probably died       before it was written.

Syracuse       a city on the south-east coast of Sicily, where Paul landed and       remained three days when on his way to Rome (Acts 28:12). It was       distinguished for its magnitude and splendour. It is now a small       town of some 13,000 inhabitants.
