TIMON tī’ mən (Τίμων, G5511). One of the seven men chosen to relieve the apostles by looking after the poor in the Christian community in Jerusalem (Acts 6:5). The name is Gr., but it is probable that he was a Jew by birth, since Nicolaus alone of the seven is referred to as a proselyte.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915)

One of "the seven" chosen to relieve the apostles by attending to "the daily ministration" to the poor of the Christian community in Jerusalem (Ac 6:5). The name is Greek, but as Nicolaus is distinguished from the remaining six as a proselyte, Timon and the others were probably Jews by birth.
