(modest). A Roman Christian who saluted Timothy (2 Tim. 4:21). Only time mentioned.

Perhaps the husband of Claudia mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:21. These two, with Linus, are supposed to have been British subjects at Rome. The Latin poet Martial wrote some epigrams about the same date, in which he mentions three friends, whose names agree with the above. This has led to the supposition.
