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> | ||
