Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Πατρόβας. Lightfoot (PAz/.? p. 174f.) recalls that this proper name (Rom 1613), an abbreviated form of Patrobius, was borne by a well-known freedman of Nero (Tac. H7s¢. i. 49, 11. 95), and cites two other exx. of it from the inscrr.: TI.CL.AUG. L.PATROBIUS (Grut. p 610. 3), and TI.CLAUDIO. PATROBIO (Murat. p. 1329. 3). Pallis (a@ Rom Zc.) prefers the accentuation IlarpoBas, and regards the suffix as a contemptuous addition to the name when applied to slaves. He cites Blaydes ad Aristoph. £g. 534: ‘* Forma Koyvas pro Kévvos contemptum exprimit.
