Bɔfoi lɛ Asaji 20:4 lɛ kɛɔ akɛ: “Ni Sopatre, Beroianyo lɛ, ni ji Pirho bi lɛ, kɛ Aristarko kɛ Sekundo, Tesalonikabii lɛ, kɛ Gaio, Derbenyo lɛ, kɛ Timoteo, kɛ Tihiko kɛ Trofimo, Asiabii lɛ, kɛ lɛ tee Asia.” Odaseyeli tsɔɔ faŋŋ akɛ, mɔ ni fata amɛhe hu ji Luka, mɔ ni ekolɛ edamɔ Kristofoi ni yɔɔ Filipi lɛ anajiaŋ lɛ. No hewɔ lɛ, kɛhoo kwraa lɛ hii nɛɛhu tsu nɛkɛ nitsumɔ nɛɛ.
