hē̇-rō´di-on (Ἡρωδίων, Hērōdı́ōn; Westcott and Hort, The New Testament in Greek Ἡρῳδίων): A Roman Christian to whom Paul sent greetings (). The name seems to imply that he was a freedman of the Herods, or a member of the household of Aristobulus, the grandson of Herod the Great (). Paul calls him “my kinsman,” i.e. “a Jew” (see JUNIAS, 1).
