( 1 Corinthians 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 Corinthians 7:1 .

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
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 Corinthians 16:15) who, visiting Paul at Ephesus with Stephanas and Fortunatus,
greatly relieved the Apostle's anxiety for the Corinthian church (compare 1 Corinthians
5:1). Paul admonishes the members of the Corinthian church to submit to their
authority (compare 1 Thessalonians 5:12) and to acknowledge their work (1 Corinthians
16:15).
