Erastus
   beloved. (1.) The "chamberlain" of the city of Corinth (Rom.
   16:23), and one of Paul's disciples. As treasurer of such a city
   he was a public officer of great dignity, and his conversion to
   the gospel was accordingly a proof of the wonderful success of
   the apostle's labours.
   
     (2.) A companion of Paul at Ephesus, who was sent by him along
   with Timothy into Macedonia (Acts 19:22). Corinth was his usual
   place of abode (2 Tim. 4:20); but probably he may have been the
   same as the preceding.
