Last of all
"Finally, after he had appeared to the others"
Last of all, he appeared to me, as if to one born prematurely
This is a simile, but its meaning is unclear. Possible meanings are 1) this refers to a baby that is born unexpectedly early. In this case, Paul means that he was unexpectedly called to be an apostle, or 2) this refers to a baby that is born early and is very small. In this case, Paul means that he had not learned from Christ and grown spiritually as the other apostles had, or 3) this refers to a baby that is born dead. In this case, Paul means that Christ appeared to him when he was spiritually dead. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
