NYMPHA(S). Aninfluential Colossian Christian ( Colossians 4:16 ). His house was used as a meeting-place for Christians. The question of the correct reading is a difficult one, and it is uncertain whether it should be Nymphas or Nympha, a man or a woman. Nothing further is known of the person named.

Morley Stevenson.
