Claud. 28; Tac. ann. 11,29 sq. ; 12, 57 ete.) (cf. Bp. Lghtft. on Philip. p. 175]; in opposition to this opinion cf. Win. RWB. 8. v.; Riietschi in Herzog x. 202 sq.; [B. D. s. v.].

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Νάρκισσος [page 422] Thieme (p. 40) quotes instances of this proper name from Magnesia ( Magn 122 d .14 not later than iv/A.D.) and Hierapolis ( Hierap. 80), proving that its occurrence outside Rome was well established, and consequently that the common identification of τοὺς ἐκ τῶν Ναρκίσσου ( Rom_16:11 ) with the household of the well-known freedman of that name is by no means certain. Rouffiac (p. 90) cites also an ex. from Thasos IG XII. 8, 548, 2 : cf. Zahn Introd. i. p. 419, The word, as a plant-name, is probably derived from a Mediterranean tongue : for the termination -σσος cf. κυπάρισσος . As the plant is sedative, the influence of νάρκη upon the stem may be traced (Boisacq, p. 657).
