Trophimus
A Gentile believer from Ephesus and one of the delegation that travelled with Paul to Jerusalem. His presence caused the riot that ended Paul's freedom: Jews from Asia saw him with Paul in the city and assumed the apostle had brought a Greek into the temple and defiled it. Paul later mentions leaving him ill at Miletus.
