Ar´temas. This name (which is a contraction for Artemidorus) occurs only once (Titus 3:12), as that of an esteemed disciple whom St. Paul designed to send into Crete to supply the place of Titus, whom he invited to visit him at Nicopolis. When the Epistle was written, the Apostle seems not to have decided whether he should send Artemas or Tychicus for this purpose.
