Epenetus or Epaentus (Greek: Ἐπαινετός) is a saint in the Greek Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church considered one of the seventy disciples and may have been the first Bishop of Carthage or Cartagena. In the 16th chapter of St. Paul’s letter to the Romans Epenetus is referred to by Saint Paul as my beloved and given the great distinction of being named the first convert in the Province of Asia. Epaentus was a convert to Christianity in Ephesus.
