Who is the Loyal Yokefellow?

Who is the Loyal Yokefellow?

Philippians 4:3
Excerpt
The exact identity of Paul’s loyal yokefellow is not known. Some say “yokefellow” (syzygus) is a proper name. Paul knew he could count on him to work with the women and bring them back to fellowship with each other and with the Lord. Clement and other fellow workers had also contended for the gospel with these women. (This is more likely than supposing the words “along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers” go with “help,” as though Paul were enlisting Clement and others to help Syzygus unite the women.) More

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
