Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

βασίλειος. Syl/ 226% (iii/B.C.) πραθέντος τε τοῦ στόλου εἰς βασίλεια, Dittenberger quotes Boeckh as arguing from the absence of the article that β. was here almost a proper name, as in Herod. iv. 20: 1). however is not convinced that the reference is to the same place. P Petr II. 23 (2)* shows βασίλειος qualifying γραμματεύς, instead of the regular βασιλικός. In the magic papyrus P Lond 46% (iv/a.D.) (=I. p. 79) βασίλιον is used with a symbol which the editor understands as= “ sceptre” : cf. Wisd 51° τὸ βασίλειον τῆς εὐπρεπείας, “' the crown of royal dignity.
