Galatians 1:2

οί σύν έμο πάντες άδελφοί все братья со мной. Хотя имена не перечислены, вероятно, они были известны церквям; эмфатическое "все" показывает, что они имели отношение к Павлу и письму (Betz).
Γαλατία (G1053) Этот термин может относиться к географической области (Северная Галатия) или римской провинции Галатия (Южная Галатия), в которых были церкви, основанные Павлом во время его первого проповеднического путешествия (Деян. 13-14). Аргументы в защиту обоих мнений см. в DPL, 323-26; Bruce; Longenecker; Fung; Betz; Guthrie, New Testament Introduction, 450-57; ABD, 2:870-72; Cilliers Breytenbach, Paulus und Barnabas in der Provinz Galatia: Studien zu Apostelgeschichte 13f.; 16,6; 18,23 und den Adressaten des Galaterbriefes (Leiden: E.J.Brill, 1996); James M. Scott, Paul and the Nations: The Old Testament and Jewish Background of Paul's Mission to the Nations with Special Reference to the Destination of Galatians (Tubingen: Mohr-Siebeck, 1995).
