• "The firstfruits of Achaia," which means that he was the first convert in that region. However, this runs in collision with 1 Corinthians 16:15 which states that Stephanas and his house were the first ones to get saved in that area. But there is really no difficulty. "Achaia" here in Romans 16:5 (in the KJV) is a translation error; it should read "Asia." (“Appendix: Romans 16” by B. Anstey)

In the common text of {vi 28342}{/vi}, Epaenetus is said to be a firstfruits of Achaia; but the ancient and true reading is "Asia," not "Achaia," of which Stephanas’ house was the firstfruits.
