ṓ - lim´pas ( Ὀλυμπὰς , Olumpás ): The name of a Roman Christian to whom Paul sent greetings ( Romans 16:15 ). Olympas is an abbreviated form of Olympiadorus. The joining in one salutation of the Christians mentioned in Numbers 16:15 suggests that they formed by themselves a small community in the earliest Roman church.
