(am' plih uhss) A Christian convert in Rome to whom Paul sent greetings (Romans 16:8 ). Amplias was a common name often given to slaves. Paul referred to this individual as “my beloved in the Lord,” which may suggest a particularly warm and affectionate relationship between Amplias and the apostle. Modern translations spell the name Ampliatus.
