    The dative singular masculine form names the person addressed in Colossians 4:17, where the APB renders, “And say to Archippus: see to the service which you received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.” In Philemon 1:2, the same form names him within the greeting alongside Apphia and the assembly in the house.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Archippus” in both verses: as the person spoken to in Colossians 4:17 and as a recipient in the greeting of Philemon 1:2. The verse is read as a whole, though the name’s reference is clear in each clause.
