Forsook me (με εγκατελειπεν). Imperfect (MSS. also have aorist, εγκατελιπεν) active of the old double compound verb εγκαταλειπω, for which see Romans 9:29. Clearly in contrast to verse 2. Timothy 4:9 and in the sense Rev 1. Timothy 6:17, wilful desertion. Only mentioned elsewhere in Colossians 4:14.

Crescens (Κρησκης). No other mention of him.

Titus to Dalmatia (Τιτος εις Δαλματιαν). Titus had been asked to rejoin Paul in Nicopolis where he was to winter, probably the winter previous to this one (Titus 3:12). He came and has been with Paul.
