paul-apostle church-fathers tradition 2-timothy

                          In 2 Tim. 4:14, Paul said that 

> Alexander the copper-smith did many evil things to me; the Lord will recompense him according to his works.

Is there any tradition on what exactly Alexander did here?  That is, what did the Chruch Fathers have to say about this passage?  Assuming there is some tradition, how much credibility have modern scholars assigned to it?
