FORTUNATUS . The name of an apparently young member of the household of Stephanas, and a Corinthian. With Stephanas and Achaicus he visited St. Paul at Ephesus ( 1 Corinthians 16:17 ); he had probably been baptized by the Apostle himself ( 1 Corinthians 1:16 ). Lightfoot ( Clement , i. 29, ii. 187) thinks that he may well have been alive forty years later, and that he may be the Fortunatus mentioned in Clement of Rome’s Epistle to the Corinthians (§ 65 ). The manner in which the name is there introduced suggests that it belongs to a Corinthian.

A. J. Maclean.
