Archippus

Archippus (/ɑːrˈkɪpəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄρχιππος, "master of the horse") was an early Christian believer mentioned briefly in the New Testament epistles of Philemon and Colossians.

According to the 4th century Apostolic Constitutions (7.46), Archippus was the first bishop of Laodicea in Phrygia (now part of Turkey).

Another tradition states that he was one of the 72 disciples appointed by Jesus Christ in Luke 10:1.

The Roman Catholic Church observes a feast day for Saint Archippus on March 20.

The Eastern Orthodox Church commemorates Archippus on several days.
