The name of a member of the Christian community at Rome, to whom Paul sent greetings (Romans 16:8). He is designated “my beloved in the Lord.” It is a common name and is found in inscriptions connected with the imperial household. The name is found twice in the cemetery of Domitilla. The earlier inscription is over a cell which belongs to the end of the 1st century or the beginning of the 2nd century. The bearer of this name was probably a member of her household and conspicuous in the early Christian church in Rome.
