"Chrestus" is another spelling of "Christ". Incidentally, Acts 18:2 describes how a Jewish couple named Aquila and Priscilla had to leave Rome because of the persecution of the Jews. Suetonius comments later about the persecution of Christians at the time of Nero: "After the great fire at Rome...Punishments were also inflicted on the Christians, a sect professing a new and mischievous religious belief".
Kwa kutokea, Matendo ya mitume 18: 2 yametolewa maelezo jinsi Wayahudi wawili Akila na Prisila iliwabidi waondoke Roma kwa sababu ya mateso ya Wayahudi. Suetorius alitoa maelezo baadaye kuhusu adha iliyowapata Wakristo kwenye kipindi cha Nero: Baada ya moto mkubwa kwenye mji wa Roma …….. vile vile Wakristo waliadhibiwa kwa kupigwa, jamii ya watu wanaokiri dini yenye imani mpya yenye kugombanisha".
