Timon (ISBE)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

tı̄´mon ( Τίμων , Tı́mōn ): One of "the seven" chosen to relieve the apostles by attending to "the daily ministration" to the poor of the Christian community in Jerusalem ( Acts 6:5 ). The name is Greek, but as Nicolaus is distinguished from the remaining six as a proselyte, Timon and the others were probably Jews by birth.
