Eras'tus. (beloved).

1. One of the attendants of St. Paul at Ephesus, who, with Timothy, was sent forward into Macedonia. Acts 19:22. (A.D. 51). He is probably the same Erastus who is again mentioned in the salutations to Timothy. 2 Timothy 4:20.

2. Erastus, the chamberlain, or rather the public treasurer, of Corinth, who was one of the early converts to Christianity. Romans 16:23. According to the traditions of the Greek Church, he was first treasurer to the church at Jerusalem, and afterwards, bishop of Paneas.
