Epaphroditus

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(lovely). Probably Epaphras ({vi 29417;29461}Phil. 2:25; 4:18).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

One who brought supplies from Philippi to Paul, who styles him “my brother and companion in labor and fellow soldier.” When with Paul at Rome he became very ill, “nigh unto death.” The deep affection between him and the Philippian saints is very evident by his sorrow that they should have heard of his sickness. He hazarded his life by his association with Paul a prisoner (Phil. 2:25; Phil. 4:18).
