In Acts 20:4, the nominative form occurs in a list of people who accompanied him. In Ephesians 6:21 and Colossians 4:7, the nominative form identifies the person who will make matters known; the APB renders these clauses “Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make all things known to you” and “Tychicus will make known to you all the things concerning me.” In 2 Timothy 4:12 and Titus 3:12, accusative forms occur as the person sent or potentially sent.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term consistently as the name “Tychicus,” whether he accompanies others, makes matters known, or is sent. These descriptions reflect the verse-level clauses rather than separate renderings of the name.
