Jeffrey, I don't think this is the exact wording you find in the Acts of Paul, but it might be worth checking there in Hennecke Schneemelcher to see what cross references they offer.  SEM

In Matthew Henry's Commentary on Acts verses 1-9, he says "...one of the
 ancients calls him [that is, St. Paul the Apostle] homo tricubitalis --but
 four feet and a half in heightI..."

Have you any idea who that ancient was, that the commentator was referring to?

Thank you for your time. Gilbert Salinas
