 gallio
 不管職務以外之事的人

From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Gallio
    the elder brother of Seneca the philosopher, who was tutor and
    for some time minister of the emperor Nero. He was "deputy",
    i.e., proconsul, as in Revised Version, of Achaia, under the
    emperor Claudius, when Paul visited Corinth (Acts 18:12). The
    word used here by Luke in describing the rank of Gallio shows
    his accuracy. Achaia was a senatorial province under Claudius,
    and the governor of such a province was called a "proconsul." He
    is spoken of by his contemporaries as "sweet Gallio," and is
    described as a most popular and affectionate man. When the Jews
    brought Paul before his tribunal on the charge of persuading
    "men to worship God contrary to the law" (18:13), he refused to
    listen to them, and "drave them from the judgment seat" (18:16).

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
