  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Trophimus 
  a  foster-child,  an  Ephesian  who  accompanied  Paul  during  a  part 
  of  his  third  missionary  journey  (Acts  20:4;  21:29).  He  was  with 
  Paul  in  Jerusalem,  and  the  Jews,  supposing  that  the  apostle  had 
  brought  him  with  him  into  the  temple,  raised  a  tumult  which 
  resulted  in  Paul's  imprisonment.  (See  TEMPLE,  HEROD'S 
  ¯T0003611.)  In  writing  to  Timothy,  the  apostle  says,  "Trophimus 
  have  I  left  at  Miletum  sick"  (2  Tim.  4:20).  This  must  refer  to 
  some  event  not  noticed  in  the  Acts
