Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Γάϊος [page 120] The name was common in the Greek world, but, in connexion with Paul s Macedonian friend Gaius ( Act_19:29 ), we may recall that it occurs in the list of politarchs at Thessalonica ( CIG II. 1967). It is also found in a memorial inscription in the same town Γάϊος Ἰούλιος Σεκοῦνδος Πρίμῳ τῷ ἰδίῳ τέκνωι μνήμης χάριν ( Duchesne No. 78) but here of course we have a Roman, and the name is as distinctive as John in English. See further Milligan Thess. p. 134; and for the occurrence of the name in a Phrygian inscription at Iconium of A.D. 150 250, cf. Ramsay Recent Discovery , p. 72. Since Grimm and many other writers mention a Roman name Caius, it may be well to refer to the third founder of Gonville s College at Cambridge as probably the earliest person to bear this title. On the late Anatolian stone, Calder 436, we find Γαυω , which Prof. Calder remarks must be for Γαιῳ , υ being now equivalent to ι : this shows that Γάιος was trisyllabic. We do not find Γεος in Greek, any more than Gaeus in Latin : the ai remained a true diphthong. WH we wrong therefore in accenting Γαῖος .
