phygellus in Fausset's Bible Dictionary
2 Timothy 1:15, "all they which are (now) in Asia," (when they were in Rome) "turned way from me," ashamed of my chain; in contrast to Onesiphorus, "of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes" (compare 2 Timothy 4:16). Possibly it was at Nicopolis, when he was apprehended, that those of Asia who had escorted him so far turned away. Phygellus was one from whom such cowardly treachery was unexpected.
