Patrobas; a Christian greeted by Paul in Romans 16:14
A personal name of a Christian believer in Rome whom Paul greets in his letter. Patrobas appears only once in Scripture, listed among the saints Paul commends. The name is a shortened form of Patrobius, common in the Roman world and found in imperial household inscriptions. Nothing else is known about this individual beyond Paul's greeting.
