What about Tryphaina? Another early 1st century person associated with the Christ cult and Pontus.
We keep coming back to Pontus. And early Pontus at that.

I wonder if Pontus is a distraction from pontos.

Acts is of course spurious as far as pre-seventy history goes; but it contains references to many lost traditions and sources still known at the point of writing, so it remains useful as a window into early Christian community life and it must be researched why they could have been written the way they were written. The same is valid for the Didascalia, another testimony of ealy community life serving as window into even older eras.
