The holy, glorious, all-laudable Apostle Achaicus of the Seventy is commemorated by the Church on January 4 with the Seventy.
Saint Achaicus is mentioned by St Paul in I Corinthians 16:17, saying, I am glad of the coming of Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. For they have refreshed my spirit, and yours.
