Early life

The book says little or nothing about early life. This is how the account begins.

Thin entry · the 1897 book gives only 53 words. We have not filled the gap with invented detail.

ON the last day of February are commemorated two friends of S. Paul, Nymphas, of whom he speaks in his Epistle to the Colossians, and Eubulus, whom he mentions in his Second Epistle to S. Timothy, as being with him at Rome. Nymphas was at Laodicea. Nothing further is known of these two.
