Summary: Paul founded churches from Jerusalem to Illyricum, as his letters and Acts show.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:85

Ὅτι μὲν οὖν τοῖς ἐξ ἐθνῶν κηρύσσων ὁ Παῦλος τοὺς ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ κύκλῳ μέχρι τοὐ Ἰλλυρικοῦ τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν καταβέβλητο θεμελίους δῆλον ἐκ τῶν αὐτοῦ γένοιτʼ ἂν φωνῶν καὶ ἀφʼ ὧν ὁ Λουκᾶς ἐν ταῖς Πράξεσιν ἰστόρησεν.

English · Claude translation

That Paul, preaching to the Gentiles, laid the foundations of the churches from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum is clear from his own words and from what Luke related in the Acts.
