Barbara,
In theory you could think that Paul was thinking at first about the
greetings of one person. When he was writing the sentence he then added
more. But here we cannot imagine that he would separate Aquila from Prisca
and the church.
I think that the solution is lying in the first part of the verse you are
quoting. If he had written
ASPAZONTAI hUMAS hAI EKKLESIAI THS ASIAS. ASPAZETAI hUMAS hH EKKLESIA hH EN
KOLOSSAIS.
there would be no problem.
But in his mind Paul was writing only about *one* church after mentioning
all the churches of Asia. However the way he describes that church is with a
grammatical plural.
