Description

Who was Herodion?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Herodion is mentioned briefly in Paul's letter to the Romans as one of Paul's fellow Jews and relatives in Rome. In his closing greetings, Paul sends a personal greeting to Herodion, along with a few others (Rom.16.11). The fact that Paul specifically mentions Herodion as his relative suggests that they were kinsmen, possibly from the same tribe or family lineage. However, no further details about Herodion's background, conversion, or role in the Roman church are provided in the Bible. The name Herodion may indicate that he was a freedman or descendant of someone from the Herodian household, but this is not certain. (Rom.16.11).

Relations

Direct connections

The kinship import reads the registry's own columns — parent, child, sibling, spouse — for every entity in it, and records none here. An extracted relation would be listed beside them, and none names this person either.

Not stated

No family is recorded for this person.

Places

Where this happens

A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.

No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
