1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Cyrenius
   the Grecized form of Quirinus. His full name was Publius
   Sulpicius Quirinus. Recent historical investigation has proved
   that Quirinus was governor of Cilicia, which was annexed to
   Syria at the time of our Lord's birth. Cilicia, which he ruled,
   being a province of Syria, he is called the governor, which he
   was de jure, of Syria. Some ten years afterwards he was
   appointed governor of Syria for the second time. During his
   tenure of office, at the time of our Lord's birth (Luke 2:2), a
   "taxing" (R.V., "enrolment;" i.e., a registration) of the people
   was "first made;" i.e., was made for the first time under his
   government. (See TAXING.)
