1. Aquila (proper noun) — The personal name Aquila (Greek Akylas), referring to the Jewish-Christian tentmaker from Pontus, husband of Priscilla/Prisca, and co-worker of Paul (Acts 18:2, 18, 26; Rom 16:3; 1 Cor 16:19; 2 Tim 4:19). All six NT occurrences across accusative and nominative cases refer to the same individual. Multilingual translations confirm a single referent: Spanish 'Akylas,' Arabic 'Akila' (أكيلا), Hindi 'Akvila' (अक्विला), Korean 'Agulla' (아굴라), Swahili 'Akwila/Akila.' The two clusters differ only in case inflection and minor transliteration variation (Akylas vs Akulas), not in referential identity. 6×
