(Φλέγων, a Greek name)

Phlegon is the second of a group of five names (all Greek) of persons ‘and the brethren with them’ saluted by St. Paul in Romans 16:14, probably as forming a household church at Rome or Ephesus under the leadership of Asyncritus, the first mentioned (cf. the group saluted in Romans 16:15, of which Philologus and Julia were perhaps the joint heads). Possibly all were greeted by the Apostle as leaders of the congregation by virtue of seniority as Christians. See artt._ Asyncritus, Patrobas.

T. B. Allworthy.
