Archaeology: The Erastus inscription

In 1929 archaeologists found a paving stone near the theater of Corinth in Greece that contains the name of Erastus, and notes that he was indeed a Roman public official in Corinth.

Writing from Corinth, the apostle Paul passed along greetings from several Corinthian Christians, including Erastus, the city treasurer or chamberlain (Romans 16:23). This find, with seven inch high letters, verifies the existence of Erastus as a public official in Corinth just as the Bible says.
