Gallio (Man living at the time of the New Testament)
The proconsul of Achaia threw out the case the Jews of Corinth brought against Paul, calling it an internal religious quarrel and no business of his court. An inscription from Delphi naming Gallio dates the scene closely enough to anchor the chronology of Paul's whole ministry.

Gallio was the Roman proconsul of Achaia who dismissed a case Corinthian Jews brought against Paul, ruling it a matter of internal Jewish religious dispute rather than a genuine legal charge. An inscription found at Delphi naming Gallio as proconsul fixes the date of this episode precisely enough to anchor the chronology of Paul's entire ministry.
