Phlegon (Φλέγων, a Greek name)
Phlegon is the second of a group of five names (all Greek) of persons ‘and the brethren with them’ saluted by St. Paul in Romans 16:14, probably as forming a household church at Rome or Ephesus under the leadership of Asyncritus, the first mentioned (cf. the group saluted in v. 15, of which Philologus and Julia were perhaps the joint heads). Possibly all were greeted by the Apostle as leaders of the congregation by virtue of seniority as Christians. See artt._ Asyncritus, Patrobas.
