Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 20:4

4 And there accompanied him into Asi[illegible: 1 letter] , Sopater of Be[illegible: 1 letter]ea; and of the Thessalonians , Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of D[illegible: 1 letter]rbe, and Timotheus ; and of Asia , Tychicus and Trophimus.

Who is called also Sosipater, Rom. 16.21. It is added in some Copies, that he was the Son of Pyrrhus; which in Greek is the same with Rufus in Latin.

A City of Macedonia, Chap. 17.10.

Of whom, Chap. 19.29. as also of the others, mention hath been formerly made.

Of Ephesus, a City in Asia. Tychicus; of whom, Ephes. 6.21. Col. 4.7. 2 Tim. 4.12. and of Trophimus we read, Chap. 21.29. 2 Tim. 4.20. These seem to have been the Apostles or Messengers of the Churches spoken of, 2 Cor. 8.23. in the number of whom St. Luke is to be reckoned, but being the Penman of this Book, he declines mentioning of himself by name; but his praise will be for ever in the Gospel▪ 2 Cor. 8.18, 19.
