Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
᾿Ονησίφορος. On the improbability that ᾿Ονησίφορος, who, according to tradition, suffered martyrdom at Parium, a city of Mysia, in the beginning of ii/A.D., is to be identified with the friend and disciple of Paul (2 Tim 17%, 415), see W. M. Ramsay Exp T ix. p. 495f. The identification, as Ramsay points out, becomes impossible if we accept the tradition embodied in the Acts of Paul and Thekla (a.D. 150-170), which makes Onesiphorus, a native of Antioch, converted by Paul on his first visit, and already a householder at that time, about A.D. 48.
