    In 2 Corinthians 8:19, the nominative singular form identifies a man appointed by the assemblies in connection with the administration of grace; the APB renders him as "our companion." In Acts 19:29, the accusative plural form occurs of Gaius and Aristarchus as those seized in the theatre; the APB renders them "Macedonian companions of Paul."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "companion" in 2 Corinthians 8:19 and "companions of Paul" in Acts 19:29. These renderings confirm the verses' portrayal of accompanying persons rather than establish finer distinctions.
