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 (). 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.
