Historian Giuseppe Ricciotti suggests: “These two embarked as private passengers... or, more likely, were admitted by the kindness of the centurion who pretended to consider them to be Paul’s slaves, since the law permitted a Roman citizen to be assisted by a couple of slaves. ”
Ajaloolane Giuseppe Ricciotti arvab: ” Need kaks asusid pardale tavaliste reisijatena.. või mis veelgi tõenäolisem, neile andis selleks loa tsentuurio, kes teeskles, et peab neid Pauluse orjadeks, kuna seadus lubas, et Rooma kodanikku aitavad paar orja. ”
