sō´pa - tẽr , sop´a - tẽr ( Σώπατος , Sṓpatros ): the Revised Version (British and American) the son of Pyrrhus; the King James Version omits. A man of Berea who is mentioned with some Thessalonians and others as accompanying Paul as far as Asia on his return to Jerusalem after his 3missionary journey ( Acts 20:4 ). He is probably the same as the "Sosipater" of Romans 16:21 .
