Ephesus, Pergamum, Antioch and Cyprus (among others) have been plausibly proposed but none is fully supported. The exact meaning of &quot;CA&quot; is also at issue with many interpretations offered. Caesar Augustus and Commune Asiae are among the more plausible interpretations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
