CARPUS.An inhabitant of Troas, with whom St. Paul stayed, probably on his last journey to Rome (2Ti_4:13). The name is Greek, but we have no means of proving his nationality.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
A Christian at Troas, with whom Paul left his cloak (2Ti_4:13) on his last hurried journey previous to his second captivity and martyrdom at Rome. Bishop of Berytus in Thrace subsequently, according to Hippolytus. He must have been a trustworthy friend to have had Paul's "books" (on papyrus), and "especially" his "parchments" (perhaps containing some of his inspired epistles) committed to him.

kar?pus (Κάρπος, Kárpos): A name but once mentioned in the New Testament (2Ti_4:13), ?the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus.? These words were written from the dungeons, where Paul was confined during his second imprisonment. The name, common enough in Paul's day, signifies ?fruit? (Young) or ?wrist? (Davis). The words indicate that Paul must have been very well acquainted with the family of Carpus. He was presumably one of his converts; and the apostle must have lodged with him and also have had considerable confidence in him, since he committed to his care not only the comparatively valueless ?cloak,? but especially the priceless ?books and parchments.? It is idle to attempt to find out the identity of Carpus, but one cannot help wondering what were the contents of these books and parchments for which the apostle longed in his bitter second imprisonment.
