The author seeks to verify the hypothesis that Paul wrote the Letter to the Philippians in Ephesus. First he proves that the apostle was there a prisoner, then that the traditional view, the Roman hypothesis, poses some difficulties. The author analyzes the circumstances in Phil, pertaining to Paul, and checks any possible cases (ie sites) in which they could have taken place. Only in the case of Ephesus that the circumstances from Phil can be confirmed by other sources. The author presents some reasons in favour of Ephesus. At the same time he proves that even though there is no mention in Phil about the money raised on behalf of the poor in Jerusalem, and Paul’s collaborators are absent, the Ephesus’ hypothesis can still be defended. These facts even speak in favour of it. The author situates Paul’s prison in Ephesus. The Phil was written during the summer of the last but one year of the apostle’s sojourn in this town. It was several months before the Letter to the Corinthians was written in the autumn of the same year.
