a prisoner <1198> [a prisoner.]

Timothy <5095> [Timothy.]

to Philemon <5371> [Philemon.]

The apostle in this epistle indulges in some fine paronomasais on the proper names. Thus Philemon, [Philemon <\\See definition 5371\\>,] affectionate, or beloved, is "our dearly beloved;" Apphia, ([Apphia <\\See definition 682\\> from appha,] the affectionate address of a brother or sister, according to Suidas,) is "the beloved sister," as several MSS., Vulgate, and others correctly read; Archippus, ([Archippos <\\See definition 751\\>,] the ruler of the horse, for the managing of which heros were anciently famous,) is "our fellow- soldier;" and Onesimus, ([Onesimos <\\See definition 3682\\>,] useful or profitable,) once unprofitable, is now profitable.
