Tychicus

Tychicus (/ˈtɪkɪkəs/: Greek: Τυχικός) was an Asiatic Christian who, with Trophimus, accompanied the Apostle Paul on a part of his journey from Macedonia to Jerusalem.

The passage in Titus evidently refers to the interval between Paul's first and second Roman imprisonments, and while he was again engaged in missionary journeys.

[1] The Catholic Encyclopedia notes that different traditions make Tychicus out to be the Bishop of Colophon, Chalcedon or Neapolis in Cyprus.

The Catholic Encyclopedia describes this list as "worthless";[4] in Eastern Orthodoxy, the duplication is regarded as erroneous and referring to one and the same person, whose feast is on December 8 along with fellow disciples Sosthenes, Apollos, Cephas, Epaphroditus, Caesar, and Onesiphorus.

[5] The latest official edition of the Roman Martyrology of the Catholic Church commemorates Tychicus as a Saint under the date of 29 April, quoting Paul's affectionate description of him in Colossians 4:7.
