APELLES, is one whom St. Paul speaks of in Chap. xvi. ver. 10. of the Epistle to the Romans, and calls approved in Christ, or an honest man, probum in Christo. The Greeks believe that Apelles was one of the seventy two Disciples, and made Bishop of Heraclea. They observe his festival on the 31st of October. In the Roman Martyrology we find him registred on the 22d of April, and on the 10th of September with Luke or Lucius.
