hē̇ - rō´di - on ( Ἡρωδίων , Hērōdı́ōn ; Westcott and Hort, The New Testament in Greek Ἡρῳδίων ): A R oman Christian to whom Paul sent greetings (Romans 16:11 ). The name seems to imply that he was a freedman of the Herods, or a member of the household of Aristobulus, the grandson of Herod the Great (Romans 16:10 ). Paul calls him "my kinsman," i.e. "a Jew" (see JUNIAS , 1).
