A Christian at Troas, with whom Paul left his cloak (2 Timothy 4:13) on his last hurried journey previous to his second captivity and martyrdom at Rome.

From the co-author of the classic Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary, Fausset's Bible Dictionary stands as one of the best single-volume Bible encyclopedias ever written for general use.
