c) The name of a Jewish Christian in Rome who was imprisoned with Paul and Andronicus.

d) Paul sends greetings to Junia and Andronicus and notes that they were of note among the apostles, and that they were followers of Christ before him (Romans 16:7).

e) It is not absolutely clear whether this name is masculine or feminine. If feminine, there is a possibility that this was the wife or sister of Andronicus.
