Salute Apelles approved--"the approved"

Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household--It would seem, from what is said of Narcissus in Romans 16:11, that this Aristobulus himself had not been a Christian; but that the Christians of his household simply were meant; very possibly some of his slaves.
Urbane--rather, "Urbanus." It is a man's name.
our helper--"fellow labourer"
in Christ.
