Gaius hospes meus.he had the honour to lodge St. Paul during his abode there. When the Apostle went into Asia, Gaius and Aristarchus accompanied him as far as Ephesus, where they abode for some time with St. Paul; so that in the sedition raised in this City about Diana of Ephesus, the Ephesians ran in great numbers to the house of Gaius and Aristarchus, and dragg’d them to the Theater. St. Paul himself had a mind to go thither, but was prevented by his friends. However, no harm happened either to Gaius or Aristarchus, because the commotion was appeased by the prudence of the Town-Clerk. Origen speaks of one Gaius, St. Paul’s Disciple, who was said to have Origen. in Rom. xvi. p. 632. Constitut. l. 7. c. 46.been made Bishop of Thessalonica.
