Matthew Poole and continuators on Philemon 1:2

2 And to our beloved Apphia , and Archippus , our fellow-souldier , and to the church in thy house .

Apphia was the Roman Name of a Woman, the naming of her before Archippus (a Minister) makes it probable she was Philemons Wife.

It appears this Archippus was a Minister from Colos. 4.17.

He calleth him his fellow-Souldier, because he was ingaged in some of those many dangers Paul incountred, but we are not told in Scripture which.

All those Christians that live in thy Family, we have the like expression, Rom. 16.5. 1 Cor. 16.19. Col. 4.15. the Apostle doth not alwaies by the term Church signifie a body under Ecclesiastical Discipline, but sometimes calleth a Company of Christians ordinarily conversing together by that Name: Those who think the body of the Church were wont constantly to meet in Philemon's House, seem not to consider how the dangers of those times made such a thing hardly practicable.
