Context of 2 Corinthians 11:10
8I spoiled other assemblies, receiving hire for ministry towards you. 9And being present with you and lacking, I did not lazily burden any one, (for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I lacked,) and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep myself. [The] truth of Christ is in me that this boasting shall not be stopped as to me in the regions of Achaia. 11Why? because I do not love you? God knows. 12But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing [for] an opportunity, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we.

It is a solemn form of asseveration, if not to be considered in the sense of an oath. In the regions of Achaia - The whole of the Peloponnesus, or Morea, in which the city of Corinth stood.
