Achaichus
Easton's Bible Dictionary
(1 Cor 16:17), one of the members of the church of Corinth who, with Fortunatus and Stephanas, visited Paul while he was at Ephesus, for the purpose of consulting him on the affairs of the church. These three probably were the bearers of the letter from Corinth to the apostle to which he alludes in 1 Cor 7:1.

Achaicus
a-ka'-i-kus (Achaikos, "belonging to Achaia"): A name honorably conferred upon L. Mummius, conqueror of Corinth and Achaia (compare Corinth). Achaicus was one of the leaders of the Corinthian church (to be inferred from 1 Cor 16:15 ff) who, visiting Paul at Ephesus with Stephanas and Fortunatus, greatly relieved the Apostle's anxiety for the Corinthian church (compare 1 Cor 5:1 ff). Paul admonishes the members of the Cor church to submit to their authority (compare 1 Thess 5:12) and to acknowledge their work (1 Cor 16:15 ff).
