fugitive, a Christian of Asia, who "turned away" from Paul during his second imprisonment at Rome (2Ti 1:15). Nothing more is known of him.

2Ti 1:15, "all they which are (now) in Asia," (when they were in Rome) "turned way from me," ashamed of my chain; in contrast to Onesiphorus, "of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes" (compare 2Ti 4:16). Possibly it was at Nicopolis, when he was apprehended, that those of Asia who had escorted him so far turned away. Phygellus was one from whom such cowardly treachery was unexpected.

Phygel'lus

One in Asia, who with Hermogenes turned away from Paul, probably from the heavenly doctrines Paul taught. 2Ti 1:15.
