Patrobas
Patrobas
(, a Greek name, contracted from Patrobius)
Patrobas is the fourth of a group of five names (all Greek) of persons and the brethren with them saluted by St. Paul in Rom 16:14. Nothing is known of any member of this group. It is suggested that together they formed an or household church, the locality of which we shall suppose to have been Rome or Ephesus, according to our view of the destination of these salutations. This is more probable than that they were slaves belonging to some great establishment, or members of a civic gild. Cf. the salutation to another group of five persons and all the saints that are with them in the verse following. In each case the names mentioned probably represent the first nucleus, the leading individuals, of the congregation (see C. von Weizscker, Apostolic Age, Eng. tr._, i. [1894] 398f.), and perhaps the first mentioned (Asyncritus, Rom 16:14, Philologus, Rom 16:15) was the recognized leader. All, however, may have been heads of separate Christian households. For the occurrence of the name Patrobas on inscriptions of the Imperial household see J. B. Lightfoot, Philippians4, 1878, p. 176.

Patrobas
(, probably for , life of his father, see Wolf, Curce, ad loc.), a Christian at Rome to whom Paul sent his salutation (Rom 16:14). A.D. 55. According to late and uncertain tradition, he was one of the seventy disciples, became bishop of Puteoli (Pseudo-Hippolytus, De Sept. Apostolis), and suffered martyrdom together with Philologus on November 4 (Estius). Accordingly the Roman martyrology assigns that day as his anniversary. Like many other names mentioned in Romans 16, this was borne by at least one member of the emperor’s household (Sueton. Galba, 20; Martial, Ep. 2:32, 3).

Patrobas
patro-bas (, Patrobas): The name of a member of the Christian community at Rome to whom Paul sent greetings (Rom 16:14). The name is an abbreviated form of Patrobius. There was a wealthy freedman of Nero of the same name who was put to death by Galba (Tacitus, History i. 49; ii. 95). The Patrobas of Paul may have been a dependent of his.
