Trypho (Greek: Τρύφων, romanized: Tryphōn; fl. c. AD 240) was a Christian theologian and Bible scholar of the 3rd century. He was a pupil of Origen.[1][2]
In Jerome's De viris illustribus, he writes that Trypho wrote on the red heifer (Numbers 19) and about the sacrifices offered by Abraham in Genesis 9.[3][4] He may be the same Tryphon as is named as a martyr in the Acta Tryphonis, who died in the Decian persecution of 249–51.[5]
