      Syn: Incident; occurrence; adventure; issue; result;
               termination; consequence; conclusion.
  
      Usage: {Event}, {Occurrence}, {Incident}, {Circumstance}. An
                  event denotes that which arises from a preceding state
                  of things. Hence we speak or watching the event; of
                  tracing the progress of events. An occurrence has no
                  reference to any antecedents, but simply marks that
                  which meets us in our progress through life, as if by
                  chance, or in the course of divine providence. The
                  things which thus meet us, if important, are usually
                  connected with antecedents; and hence event is the
                  leading term. In the [bd]Declaration of
                  Independence[b8] it is said, [bd]When, in the cource
                  of human events, it becomes necessary.[b8] etc. Here,
                  occurrences would be out of place. An incident is that
                  which falls into a state of things to which is does
                  not primarily belong; as, the incidents of a journey.
                  The term is usually applied to things of secondary
                  importance. A circumstance is one of the things
                  surrounding us in our path of life. These may differ
                  greatly in importance; but they are always outsiders,
                  which operate upon us from without, exerting greater
                  or less influence according to their intrinsic
                  importance. A person giving an account of a campaign
                  might dwell on the leading events which it produced;
                  might mention some of its striking occurrences; might
                  allude to some remarkable incidents which attended it;
                  and might give the details of the favorable or adverse
                  circumstances which marked its progress.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Epaenetus
      commendable, a Christian at Rome to whom Paul sent his
      salutation (Rom. 16:5). He is spoken of as "the first fruits of
      Achaia" (R.V., "of Asia", i.e., of proconsular Asia, which is
      probably the correct reading). As being the first convert in
      that region, he was peculiarly dear to the apostle. He calls him
      his "well beloved."
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Epenetus, laudable; worthy of praise
