<p> ''''' stā´kis ''''' ( Στάχυς , <i> ''''' Stáchus ''''' </i> ): The name of a [[Roman]] [[Christian]] to whom Paul sent greetings. The name is [[Greek]] and uncommon; it has been found in inscriptions connected with the imperial household. Paul designates him "my beloved" ( Romans 16:9 ). </p> | <p> (Στάχυς, a [[Greek]] name) </p> <p> [[Stachys]] is saluted by St. [[Paul]] in Romans 16:9 and described as ‘my beloved’ (τὸν ἀγαπητόν μου). The only other persons so described in these salutations are [[Epaenetus]] (Romans 16:5) and [[Ampliatus]] (Romans 16:8). A woman, [[Persis]] (q.v.[Note: .v. quod vide, which see.]), is saluted, perhaps with intentional delicacy, as ‘the beloved’ (Romans 16:12). The term may indicate a personal convert of the [[Apostle]] or one closely associated with his work. Nothing further is known of Stachys. We shall suppose him to have been a [[Roman]] or [[Ephesian]] Christian, according to our view of the destination of Romans 16. The name is comparatively rare, but occurs in inscriptions of the Imperial household (J. B. Lightfoot, Philippians4, 1878, p. 174). </p> <p> T. B. Allworthy. </p> | ||
