²⁷ So Philip got ·ready [up] and went. On the road he saw a man from Ethiopia [^Cnot present-day Ethiopia (Abyssinia), but Nubia in northern Sudan], a eunuch [or court official; ^Croyal servants were sometimes made eunuchs (castrated males), especially if they served in the presence of females]. He was an important officer in the service of ·Candace [or the Kandáke; ^Ca title, not a name, meaning “queen”], the queen of the Ethiopians; he was responsible for ·taking care of all her money [her entire treasury]. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship.
