Philemon: The apostle in this epistle indulges in some fine paronomasais on the proper names. Thus Philemon, יכחלןם [Strong's G5371], affectionate, or beloved, is "our dearly beloved;" Apphia (נציב [Strong's G682], from בנצב), the affectionate address of a brother or sister, according to Suidas), is "the beloved sister," as several manuscripts, Vulgate, and others correctly read; Archippus (סקיננןע [Strong's G751], the ruler of the horse, for the managing of which heros were anciently famous), is "our fellow- soldier;" and Onesimus (םחףילןע [Strong's G3682], useful or profitable), once unprofitable, is now profitable., and fellow labourer, Philemon 1:24, 1 Corinthians 3:9, Philippians 2:25, Philippians 4:3, Colossians 4:11, 1 Thessalonians 3:2
