Sosthenes was the “Ruler” of the Synagogue at Corinth

Can you please source that fact? Thanks.

What’s not clear to me is the link between Crispus and Sosthenes. I “think” at this point they were two different people(?).

Also, there’s http://orthodoxwiki.org/Apostle_Sosthenes
I usually look at multiple sources to get different perspectives in my own, rather crude effort to flesh out a picture of the “times” and historical context. Maybe that’s a mistake. Even though I’m Roman Catholic, I’m not afraid to look at the Greek Orthodox sources. A possible “error” I may be making is that while I’m not a “literalist”, I do view the Bible as a near historically accurate collection. Guess that’s a story for a different day.
Thanks
