Καῖσαρ, Καίσαρος (Alexander Buttmann (1873) 16 (15)), ὁ, Caesar (properly, the surname of Julius Caesar, which being adopted by Octavianus Augustus and his successors afterward became an appellative, and was appropriated by the Roman emperors as a part of their title (cf. Dict. of Biogr. and Mythol. under the word )): Mat_22:17; Mat_22:21; Mar_12:14; Mar_12:16; Luk_2:1; Luk_3:1; Luk_20:22; Luk_23:2; Joh_19:12; Act_11:28 (Rec.); , etc.; Php_4:22.

Καῖσαρ [page 315] Lightfoot ( Phil. .2 p. 169 ff.) has shown that by the phrase οἱ ἐκ τῆς Καίσαρος οἰκίας in Php_4:22 we are probably to understand slaves and freedmen attached to the palace, and has appealed to inscriptional evidence to prove that the designation embraced a large number of persons both in Rome and elsewhere (e.g. Ephesus), filling every description of more or less domestic office : see further SH p. 418 ff. In BGU I. 156 .8 (A.D.201) χρηματίσατε Σατουρνείνῳ Καισάρων οἰκονόμῳ , Wilcken ( Ostr. i. p. 499 n. .4 ) holds that Καισάρων stands for Καισάρων δούλῳ : similarly in P Lond 256 recto .1 (A.D. 11 15) (= II. p. 96) Φαῦστος Πρίσκου Καίσαρος = Φ . Π . Καίσαρος δούλου ( ib. p. 662); cf. the simple gen. Χριστοῦ , belonging to Christ ( Gal_3:29 al. : Deissmann LAE p. 382). On the other hand Καισάρειοι = Imperial freedmen, e.g. in P Oxy III. 477 .5 (A.D.132 3), though their exact position is far from clear : see Chrest. I. 1. p. 47, and cf. Schubart Archiv v. p. 116 ff. For Καισαριανοί , Caesar s officials, see Epict. i. 19. 19, and for καισάριον , palace, see an inscr. of the time of the Emperor Maurice referred to in Archiv ii. p. 403.
