Aristarchos is the personal name of a man shown as Paul’s companion, fellow prisoner, and fellow worker.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in accounts of Paul’s companions · dominant

    The forms identify a man among Paul’s associates: in Acts 19:29 the APB renders him as seized with Gaius; in Acts 20:4 and Acts 27:2 it places him among those traveling with Paul’s party. In Colossians 4:10 the APB renders him as Paul’s “fellow prisoner,” and in Philemon 1:24 among Paul’s “fellow workers.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the term as the name “Aristarchus,” adding verse-level descriptions such as “Macedonian companions of Paul,” “fellow prisoner,” and “fellow workers.” These descriptions belong to their clauses rather than providing a one-to-one rendering of the name.
