For this proper name, as in Act_6:5 , cf. IG XIV. 682, 1252,and the many exx. in Preisigke s Sammelbuch , see Index. On νικο -λαός in popular etymology a rough Greek equivalent for, αμς ςν leading to the identification of the Nicolaitans with the Balaamites, see Moffatt on Rev_2:6 in EGT. Harnack rejects any allegorical interpretation of the name ( The Journal of Religion iii. (1923), p. 413 ff.).
