Excerpt from An Introduction to the New Testament, Vol. 2 The Galatians were a people of Gallic or Germanic origin, who after various wanderings crossed over into Asia Minor, and spreading there, were driven back and held in check by Attains I. king of Perganios (B.C.238), - their country being thus limited to that district of Phrygia which afterwards was called after them Galatia, or Gallo-Graecia. About the year 188 B.C. they were conquered by the Ivomans; in B.C. 26 their country was converted into a Roman province by Augustus, and, together with Lycaonia, was placed under the supervision of a Roman governor. The wandering barbarians by degrees associated with the surrounding Greeks, and learned their language, but they retained their vernacular in the intercourse of common life; and this, according to Jerome (Proem. libr. ii., com. in ep. ad Gal.), was almost the same as that spoken in Treves, one of the Rhine provinces of Prussia. Thus a natural and common bond of union was maintained among them; and this accounts for the fact that the Christian churches in Galatia seem to have been associated together so closely, that St. Paul could address an epistle to them collectively. The Galatian churches, as our epistle shows (see Gal. i.8, iv.13-19; cf.1 Cor. xvi.1), were founded by St. Paul.
