    2. More on the name Aquila: >From the Chase Chronicle, Vol 1, No 1, January, 1910, "Most of us speak of Aquila as if the word were spelled with two l's, and the emphasis put on the second syllable as we speak of a quill pen. Please accent the first syllable as if it were spelled Ac and only one l." >From the Century Encylopedia of Names, 7/1/1911 edition, Editor Benjamin E. Smith: "Aquila. An early Christian who, with his wife Priscilla, was employed at Ephesus in instructing Apollos, who, though 'instructed in the way of the Lord,' needed to have it 'more accurately set forth.'
