ERASTUS.The name occurs thrice in NT among the Pauline company. An Erastus sends greetings in Rom_16:23, and is called the treasurer (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] chamberlain) of the city (Corinth). The Erastus who was sent by St. Paul from Ephesus to Macedonia (Act_19:22), and who later remained in Corinth (2Ti_4:20), is perhaps the same.

"Chamberlain," i.e. city steward and treasurer of Corinth (Rom_16:23). The conversion of so prominent a man marks the great success of Paul's labors there. He ministered to Paul, accompanying him on his last journey to his second imprisonment at Rome; but "abode at Corinth," going no further, as Paul notes (2Ti_4:20) to depict his utter desertion by man. Erastus the missionary is perhaps distinct, as a chamberlain's office would hardly admit of continued missionary journeys (Act_19:22).

Eras'tus. (beloved).
1. One of the attendants of St. Paul at Ephesus, who, with Timothy, was sent forward into Macedonia. Act_19:22. (A.D. 51). He is probably the same Erastus who is again mentioned in the salutations to Timothy. 2Ti_4:20.
2. Erastus, the chamberlain, or rather the public treasurer, of Corinth, who was one of the early converts to Christianity. Rom_16:23. According to the traditions of the Greek Church, he was first treasurer to the church at Jerusalem, and afterwards, bishop of Paneas.

ē̇-ras?tus (Ἔραστος, Érastos, ?beloved?): The name occurs three times, each time denoting a companion of Paul.
(1) Erastus was sent with Timothy from Ephesus into Macedonia while Paul remained in Asia for a while. They are designated ?two of them that ministered unto him? (Act_19:22).
(2) ?Erastus the treasurer of the city? sent greetings to the Christians in Rome (Rom_16:23). He was apparently an important person in the Corinthian community, and with Gaius probably represented that church in these fraternal relations with the Roman community.
(3) Erastus is one who, in 2Ti_4:20, ?remained at Corinth.?
We have no means of discovering whether one or more than one person is meant in these references. A. C. Headlam (HDB, under the word) thinks it improbable that one who held an office implying residence in one locality should have been one of Paul's companions in travel. On the other hand Paul may be designating Erastus (Rom_16:23) by an office he once held, but which he gave up to engage in mission work.

Eras?tus, a Corinthian, and one of Paul's disciples, whose salutations he sends from Corinth to the Church at Rome as those of 'the chamberlain of the city' (Rom_16:23). The words so rendered denote the city treasurer or steward, an officer of great dignity in ancient times. We find this Erastus with Paul at Ephesus, whence he was sent along with Timothy into Macedonia (Act_19:22). They were both with the Apostle at Corinth when he wrote, as above, from that city to the Romans: at a subsequent period Erastus was still at Corinth (2Ti_4:20), which would seem to have been the usual place of his abode.

Erastus
(῎Εραστος, beloved, an old Grecian name, Diog. Laert. 3:31), a Corinthian, and one of Pull's disciples, whose salutations he sends from Corinth to the Church at Rome as those of "the chamberlain (q.v.) of the city" of Corinth (Rom_16:23). The word so rendered (οἰκονόμος, Vulg. arcarius) denotes the city treasurer or steward (Suicer, Thesaur. 2:464; see Flessa, De arcariis, Baruth. 1725-6, 2, § 11; also Elszner, Obs. 2:68), an officer of great dignity in ancient times (comp. Josephus, Ant. 7:8, 2); so that the conversion of such a man to the faith of the Gospel was a proof of the wonderful success of the apostle's labors in that city. We find Erastus with Paul at Ephesus as one of his attendants or deacons (οἱ διακονοῦντες αὐτῷ), whence he was sent, along with Timothy, into Macedonia, while the apostle himself remained in Asia (Act_19:22), A.D. 51. They were both with the apostle at Corinth when he wrote, as above,-from that city to the Romans, A.D. 55; and at a subsequent period (A.D. 64) Erastus was still at Corinth (2Ti_4:20), which would seem to have been the usual place of his abode (ἔμεινε). According to the traditions of the Greek Church (Menol. Graecum, 1:179), he was first aeconomus to the Church at Jerusalem, and afterwards bishop of Paneas, and died a natural death. Many critrics, however (Grotius, Kype, Kuinol, De Wette, Winer, etc.), regard the Corinthian Erastus as a different person from Paul's companion, on the ground that the official duties of the former would not allow such an absence from the city (Neander, Planting and Training, 1:392, note), or that, if he was with Paul at Ephesus, we should be compelled to assume that he is mentioned in the epistle to the Romans by the title of an office which he had once held and afterwards resigned (Meyer, Kommentar. in loc.).
