As he does not explain himself particularly, he must refer to a subject with which they were well acquainted.

Ephesians 6:21 — was of Asia, and that he was a useful companion of St. Paul. See the note on the above place.This same person, and with the same character and commendation, is mentioned in the Epistle to the Colossians, Colossians 4:7.
