De'mas. (governor of the people). Most probably, a contraction from Demetrius, or perhaps from Demarchus, a companion of St. Paul, Philemon 1:24; Colossians 4:14, during his first imprisonment at Rome. (A.D. 57). At a later period, 2 Timothy 4:10, we find him mentioned as having deserted the apostle through love of this present world, and having gone to Thessalonica.
