Chloe: I Co 1:11.†
Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Χλόη, “εἴη Verdant,” an epithet of Demeter, which may have led to ils use as a proper name, especially among members of the freedmen class (like Phoebe, Hlermes and Nereus, Rom 161: 14,15). Hence Lightfoot (Mo/es, p. 152) thinks that Chloe of 1 Cor 114 was a freedwoman: cf. the mention of the slave Chloe in Hor. Qa. iii. 9. 9, ‘‘me nunc Thressa Chloe regit.” More recently F. R. Montgomery Hitchcock in JTS xxv. (1924), p. 163 ff. has taken the view that ot XAsys in τ Cor /.c. were a pagan body, probably followers of Demeter. The noun under the form xAovn(= χλόη), ““sreen corn or grass,’’ occurs ézs in P Tebt I. 11246, 94 (B.C. 112).
