3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Aquila
   eagle, a native of Pontus, by occupation a tent-maker, whom Paul
   met on his first visit to Corinth (Acts 18:2). Along with his
   wife Priscilla he had fled from Rome in consequence of a decree
   (A.D. 50) by Claudius commanding all Jews to leave the city.
   Paul sojourned with him at Corinth, and they wrought together at
   their common trade, making Cilician hair-cloth for tents. On
   Paul's departure from Corinth after eighteen months, Aquila and
   his wife accompanied him to Ephesus, where they remained, while
   he proceeded to Syria (Acts 18:18, 26). When they became
   Christians we are not informed, but in Ephesus they were (1 Cor.
   16:19) Paul's "helpers in Christ Jesus." We find them afterwards
   at Rome (Rom. 16:3), interesting themselves still in the cause
   of Christ. They are referred to some years after this as being
   at Ephesus (2 Tim. 4:19). This is the last notice we have of
   them.
