Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Διονύσιος [page 164]
The extreme frequency of this name in the Hellenistic period is seen at a glance in the indices personarum. It is to be taken into account in estimates of the religion of the world in which Paul worked. On survivals of the Dionysus cult, evidenced by the posthumous importance of Dionysius the Areopagite, see Rendel Harris Annotators of Codex Bezae , p. 77 ff.
