Asyncritus
Asyncritus
(, or , a Greek name)
The first of a group of live names (all Greek) of persons and the brethren with them saluted by St. Paul in Rom 16:14. Nothing is known of Asyncritus or of any member of this group. It is suggested that together they formed a separate , or church, within the Church of Rome. That such little communities existed in Rome, each with its own place of meeting, would appear from other similar phrases in Romans 16 : the church that is in their house (Rom 16:5), all the saints that are with them (Rom 16:15), and from the references to the Christian members of the households of Aristobulus and Narcissus (Rom 16:10-11). This, of course, assumes the Roman destination of these salutations. If the Ephesian destination be preferred, there is evidence of similar house-churches at Ephesus in 1Co 16:19, and perhaps in Act 20:20 (see article Patrobas). The name Asyncritus has been found in an inscription of a freedman of Augustus (see Sanday-Headlam, Romans5, 1902, p. 427).
