URBANUS ur-ba'-nus (Ourbanos; the King James Version Urbane): A common slave name. Gifford says that it is found "as here, in juxtaposition with Ampliatus, in a list of imperial freedmen, on an inscription, 115 AD." He was a member of the Christian community at Rome to whom Paul sent greetings. Paul calls him "our fellow-worker in Christ" (Rom 16:9). "The `our' (as opposed to `my,' Rom 16:3) seems to suggest that all Christian workers had a common helper in Urbanus" (Denney). |
