(Μυάσων, perh. reminding), a Christian with whom Paul lodged during his last visit at Jerusalem (Acts 21:16). A.D. 55. He seems to have been a native of Cyprus, but an inhabitant of Jerusalem, like Barnabas (comp. Acts 11:19-20). He was well known to the Christians at Casarea, and may have been a friend of Barnabas (Acts 4:36), but appears not to have been before this acquainted with Paul. Some think that he was converted by Paul and Barnabas while at Cyprus (Acts 13:9); but the designation "an old disciple" (ἀρχαῖος μαθητής) has more generally induced the conclusion that he was converted by Jesus himself, and was perhaps one of the seventy (see Kuinbl, Comment. ad loc.).
