When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus - to supply thy place in Crete. Artemas. tradition says, subsequently became Bishop of Lystra, Tychicus was sent twice by Paul from Rome to Lesser Asia in his first imprisonment (which shows how well qualified he was to become Titus' successor in Crete) (Ephesians 6:21; Colossians 4:7); and in his second (2 Timothy 4:12). Tradition makes him subsequently Bishop of Chalcedon, in Bithynia.
Nicopolis - `The city of victory;' called so from the battle of Actium; in Epirus. This letter was probably written from Corinth in the autumn. Paul purposed a journey through CEtolia and Acarnania into Epirus, and there "to winter." (See 'Introduction' to pastoral letters.)
