PHILOLOGUS.—A Christian greeted in Rom_16:15.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Rom_16:15. Saluted by Paul. Mentioned in the columbarium "of the freedmen of Livia Augusta" at Rome. Probably of the imperial household, as a Julia (an imperial name) is connected with him. He was the center of a knot of Christians.

Philol'ogus. A Christian at Rome, to whom St. Paul sends his salutation. Rom_16:15.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


fi-lol?ṓ-gus (Φιλόλογος, Philólogos, ?fond of learning,? ?learned?): The name of a Roman Christian to whom Paul sent greetings (Rom_16:15). His name is coupled with that of Julia, who was probably his wife or sister. Philologus and those united with him in this salutation formed by themselves one of the ?house churches? or groups in the Christian community. The name is found in inscriptions connected with the imperial household, with reference to one of which Bishop Lightfoot has the following note: ?It has been supposed that the name Philologus was given by the master to the freedman mentioned in this inscription, as being appropriate to his office (Friedlander I, 89, 160).... If so, some light is thrown on the probable occupation of the Philologus of Paul? (Phil, 177, note 1).

Philol?ogus, one of the Christians at Rome to whom Paul sent his salutations (Rom_16:15). Dorotheus makes him one of the seventy disciples, and alleges that he was placed by the apostle Andrew as bishop of Sinope, in Pontus. But this seems altogether improbable.

Philologus
(φιλόλογος ,fond of talk), one of the Christians at Rome to whom Paul sent his salutations (Rom_16:15). A.D. 55. Origen conjectures that he was the head of a Christian household which included the other persons named with him. Dorotheus makes him one of the seventy disciples, and alleges that he was placed by the apostle Andrew as bishop of Sinope, in Pontus (see Epiphanins, Mon. page 68, ed. Dressel). Pseudo-Hippolytus (De LXX Apostolis) substantially repeats the same improbable tradition. His name is found in the Columbarium "of the freedmen of Livia Augusta" at Rome; which shows that there was a Philologus connected with the imperial household at the time when it included many Julias. The name Philologus was a common one at Rome (Lewin, Life and Epistles of St. Paul, 2:71).
