Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Gaius mine host, and--the host
of the whole church--(See Acts 20:4). It would appear that he was one of only two persons whom Paul baptized with his own hand (compare 3 John 1:1). His Christian hospitality appears to have been something uncommon.
Erastus the chamberlain--"treasurer."
of the city--doubtless of Corinth. (See Acts 19:22; 2 Timothy 4:20).
and Quartus a brother--rather, "the" or "our brother"; as Sosthenes and Timothy are called (1 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:1, Greek). Nothing more is known of this Quartus.
