Aristarchus (Ἀρίσταρχος, Aristarchos). A “Macedonian traveling companion of Paul” (Acts 19:29). Aristarchus and Gaius were seized by the Ephesians during the riot of the silversmiths (Acts 19:29). Aristarchus was a native of Thessalonica and accompanied Paul from Greece (Acts 20:4) and to Rome (Acts 27:2). In Col 4:10, Paul calls him his “fellow prisoner.” Paul mentions him again in the Letter to Philemon (Phlm 24). In both of these letters, Aristarchus sends greetings of his own.
