Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Ἰκόνιον [page 302] The old controversy as to whether during the Roman period Iconium belonged to Phrygia or Lycaonia may now be said to have been settled by the discovery of inscriptional evidence showing that during ii iii/A.D. the inhabitants used the old non-literary Phrygian tongue : see especially Ramsay Recent Discovery , p. 65 ft. According to Ramsay (p. 75) the Phrygian form of the city name was probably Kaoania. This was hellenized to Konion and modified to Ἰκόνιον or Εἰκόνιον to suggest a connexion with εἰκών , an image, giving rise to a legend about a sacred statue in the city. See also Blass Gr. p. 8.
