   The genitive singular form occurs with assemblies in 1 Corinthians 16:1 and Galatians 1:2; in 1 Corinthians 16:1 the APB renders the clause "I directed the assemblies of Galatia," and in Galatians 1:2 it renders "to the assemblies of Galatia." In 1 Peter 1:1 it is listed among places of dispersion, while the accusative singular form in 2 Timothy 4:10 marks where Crescens "has gone to Galatia" in the APB.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "Galatia" in all four verses, within references to assemblies, dispersed strangers, and Crescens's destination. The verse is read as a whole, but these clauses consistently present it as a place name.
