Exegesis
The second clause repeats the verb-object frame aspazetai hymas, now with Erastos {Ἔραστος | Érastos} as the subject, described by the appositive title ho oikonomos tēs poleōs {ὁ οἰκονόμος τῆς πόλεως | ho oikonómos tēs póleōs}, indicating an official civic position as “the steward of the city.”
In context — Romans 16:23
Gaius, my host , and host to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city steward , and Quartus, the brother, also greet you.
