Timon
We know nothing of this disciple except that his name appears as one of the Seven in Act 6:5. The list, like that of the first apostles (Act 1:13), may have been kept among the archives of the church at Jerusalem, to which St. Luke had access, or St. Luke may himself have procured it at Antioch.

Timon
(, a common Greek name), the fourth named of the seven, commonly called deacons, SEE DEACON, who were appointed to act as almoners on the occasion of complaints of partiality being raised by the Hellenistic Jews at Jerusalem (Act 6:5). A.D. 29.

Nothing further is known of him with certainty; but in the Synopsis de Vita et Morte Prophetaruom, Apostoloruai, et Discipulorum Domini, ascribed to Dorotheus of Tyre (Bibl. Max. Patrum, 3, 149), we are informed that he was one of the seventy-two disciples (the catalogue of whom is a mere congeries of New-Test. names), and that he afterwards became bishop of Bostra (? Bostra Arabum ), where he suffered martyrdom by fire.
