STRONGS NT 493: Ἀντιπᾶς

Ἀντιπᾶς (Tdf. Ἀντειπας, see under the word εἰ, ἰ), Ἀντιπα (cf. Winers Grammar, § 8, 1; (Buttmann, 20 (18))), ὁ, Antipas (contracted from Ἀντίπατρος Winer's Grammar, 103 (97)), a Christian of Pergamum who suffered martyrdom, otherwise unknown: Revelation 2:13. On the absurd interpretations of this name, cf. Düsterd. (Alford, Lee, others) at the passage From Görres in the Zeitschr. f. wissensch. Theol. for 1878, p. 257ff, endeavors to discredit the opinion that he was martyred, but by insufficient arguments.
