Archippus
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
ar -kip´us ( Ἀρχίππος , Archı́ppos ): 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 (Colossians 4:17; Philippians 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.
