HERMOGENES.—A companion of St. Paul, who, with Phygelus and ‘all that are in Asia,’ deserted him (2Ti_1:15). The defection may probably have occurred at a time long past when St. Paul wrote (note RV [Note: Revised Version.] ). The AV [Note: Authorized Version.] refers to a defection at Rome, perhaps of natives of the province Asia in the city; but the aorist is against this.
