Quick answer
Paul greets Herodion, his kinsman, and the believers in the household of Narcissus. He continues naming Jewish relatives and household members who are in the Lord.
Overview
Herodion is another of Paul's 'kinsmen,' a fellow Jew. Paul also greets those 'in the Lord' within the household of Narcissus, again likely slaves or freedmen of a prominent house. The careful phrase 'who are in the Lord' notes that not all in such a household were believers, only those in Christ. The list keeps displaying the rich diversity, Jew and Gentile, slave and free, united in the one church.
