Archippus

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Master of the horse, a “fellow-soldier” of Paul’s (Phlm 1:1:2), whom he exhorts to renewed activity (Col 4:17). He was a member of Philemon’s family, probably his son.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

ar-kip'-us (Archippos): Addressed by Paul in his letter to Philem, as "our fellow-soldier"; probably a member of Philem's family circle, holding some official position in the church (Col 4:17; Phlm 1:2). See Apphia. The tradition that he was one of the seventy disciples, became bishop of Laodicea and later became a martyr, seems to have little historical foundation.
