Description
Who was Stachys?
Stachys is mentioned briefly in Rom.16.9 as one of the individuals in Rome to whom Paul sends his greetings. Paul refers to Stachys as "my beloved" (Greek: ton agapēton mou), indicating a close personal relationship and affection between the two.
The context of this greeting is found in the final chapter of Paul's letter to the Romans, where he extends personal greetings to various members of the church in Rome. This suggests that Stachys was a part of the Christian community in Rome and was known to Paul, either through personal interaction or by reputation.
Although no further information is provided about Stachys in the biblical text, his inclusion in Paul's greetings indicates that he was a respected and valued member of the early church. The fact that Paul singles him out as a beloved friend suggests a strong bond of Christian love and fellowship between them.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.

The pattern
Where Stachys is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
