  Alypius - 02 | St Augustine of Hippo | Order of St Augustine
Although Alypius was unable to spend the summer months of 386/387 as part of ad hoc lay community established by Augustine at Cassiciacum in the hills outside of Milan, both men were on Easter Sunday 387 baptised together in Milan by the bishop, Ambrose.
In August 387 Alypius was in the company of Augustine, Monica, Adeodatus (the son of Augustine), Navigius (the brother of Augustine) and Evodius (a North African companion) when they travelled to the port of Ostia with the intention of sailing back to North Africa to establish a lay community at Thagaste.
Alypius and Nebridius most probably were the two closest friends that Augustine had throughout most of his life.

Alypius now, who had not seen him enter, was aware of his going, and saw with what speed he made away.
Alypius resisted it: a bribe was promised; with all his heart he scorned it: threats were held out; he trampled upon them: all wondering at so unwonted a spirit, which neither desired the friendship, nor feared the enmity of one so great and so mightily renowned for innumerable means of doing good or evil.
Alypius indeed kept me from marrying; alleging that so could we by no means with undistracted leisure live together in the love of wisdom, as we had long desired.

 CliffsNotes::St. Augustine's Confessions:Book Summary and Study Guide
Another motivation may have been a bit of correspondence between Augustine’s close friend Alypius and a notable Christian convert, Paulinus of Nola, a Roman aristocrat who had renounced the world and his immense family fortune upon converting to Christianity.
Alypius wrote to Paulinus and sent him some of Augustine’s works.
Alypius apparently conveyed the request to Augustine, which may account for the space devoted to Alypius’ life story in Book 6.

 SparkNotes: Confessions: Book VI
These friends, whose spiritual condition Augustine felt to be "much the same as mine," are named as Nebridius (with whom Augustine had discussed astrology in Book IV) and Alypius, who will later witness Augustine's conversion and become a very close friend.
Alypius is described here as full of integrity in his career at the law courts but possessing a potentially "fatal passion for the circus" and public shows in general.
Though fascinated by Augustine's sexual appetite, Alypius argued against a wife, in large part because he and his two compatriots had been toying seriously with the idea of withdrawing from society to lead a bohemian philosopher's life.
