Sosthenes Sohtun
Sosthenes (Greek: Σωσθένης, ''Sōsthénēs'', "safe in strength") was the chief ruler of the synagogue at Corinth, who, according to the Acts of the Apostles, was seized and beaten by the mob in the presence of Gallio, the Roman governor, when Gallio refused to proceed against Paul at the instigation of the Jews (). The motives of this assault against Sosthenes are not recorded. Some manuscripts insert the mob was composed of "Greeks"; others read "Jews". Some historians identify this Sosthenes with a companion of Paul the Apostle referred to as "Sosthenes our brother" ( gr, Σωσθένης ὁ ἀδελφός, ''Sōsthénēs ho adelphós'', literally "Sosthenes ''the'' brother"), a convert to the Christian faith and co-author of the First Epistle to the Corinthians (). It is not clear whether this identification is tenable.
