They passed through
(literally: 'wandered through' – Gk. dierchomai) [moved westward from city to city] across the entire island to
Paphos [the island's capital on the west side].
[Between Salamis and Paphos (the two largest cities) it is 150 km as the crow flies. If they take the fastest route (via the southern coastal road), they can cover the distance in a week. However, it is more likely that they zigzag from east to west (visiting cities such as Soli, Kittion, etc.) and spend a few months on the island.] In
Paphos, they met a Jew who practiced magic, a false prophet named
Barjesus [a Hebrew name meaning "son of Joshua"].
