Exegesis

The direct objects are coordinated by a series of kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’, producing a polysyndetic list that slows the pace and gives each person or group distinct recognition: first Philologon {Φιλόλογον | Philólogon} and Ioulian {Ἰουλίαν | Ioulían}, then Nerea {Νηρέα | Nēréa} with the appositive phrase ten adelphen autou {τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ | tḕn adelphḕn autoû} ‘his sister’, followed by Olympan {Ὀλυμπᾶν | Olympân}.

In contextRomans 16:15

Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them .
