Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
γυναικάριον. For this NT ἅπ. elp. (Vg. meudierculas) Sir W. M. Ramsay (in a letter of Dec. 12, 1910) suggests the analogy of Cicero’s barbatuli juvenes (ad. Att. i. 14. §, and 16. 10), young swells with neatly and fashionably trimmed beards. The γυναικάρια of 2 Tim 3° would then be society ladies, borne by caprices in various directions and full of idle curiosity. The word is found in Epictetus iv. 1. 86 τῶν καλῶν γυναικαρίων, cf. 11. 18. 18, etc. Grimm quotes Diocles, a comedian of v/B.C:
Liddell-Scott-Jones — Greek-English Lexicon
