Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

᾿Απολλώς has σϑη. ᾿Απολλῶτος in an inscr. from the Serapeum at Memphis. See /Pretstgke 1917, who accents the nom. ᾿Απολλῶς : since it is probably short for ᾿Απολλώνιος (which occurs in Codex Bezae), this accords with analogy. The name can be quoted from Osty 1319 (B.C. 7), 1577 (A.D. 132), Preisighe 1113 (A.D. 147-8), P Lond g2944,% (ii/iii A.D.) (ΞΞ ΠῚ. p. 42 f.), 2b. 12338 (A.D. 211) (ΞΞ 111. p. 58), where the editors would like to make ᾿Απολλῶς gen., and P Goodsp 37,1420 (a.p. 143) ᾿Απολλῶτι. exx., Without seeking for more we may observe that ᾿Απολλώνιος was an extraordinarily common name, no fewer than 39 persons bearing it in the inscrr. of Sy//. (Naturally the abbreviated name does not figure in the more formal inscriptional style.) ᾿Απολλόδωpos has over 50, and ᾿Απολλωνίδης (-Sas) half as many: ᾿Απολλῶς might be a short form of these also. So apart from the very precise identification available we might not be sure that there was only one Apollos in NT.
