# Connecting Statement:

Paul is correcting the chief captain's wrong idea about who Paul is.

# Tarsus in Cilicia

Cilicia was a Roman province across the Mediterranean Sea from Egypt, and Tarsus was a large, well-known city.

# I am a citizen of no unimportant city

Paul uses the double negative in the phrase "no unimportant city" to emphasize that the chief captain should have known that Tarsus was an important city. Alternate translation: "I am a citizen of an important city" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublenegatives]])

# I beg you

Or "I plead with you."

# allow me

"please allow me" or please permit me"
