Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Δημᾶς [page 144]
For this proper name, see P Lond 929 .88 (ii/iii A.D.) (= III. p. 42), BGU I. 10 .12 (A.D. 192). The earliest occurrence is P Petr III. 49 .7 , where Δημᾶδι follows Φιλίππωι and Τιμοθέωι , but the context has less Biblical suggestion : BGU III. 715 ii. 13 (A.D. 101 2) shows Demas in the company of several Jews, as Ἰωσῆς ὁ καὶ Τεύφιλο (ς ), Ἀβράμ [ιος ?,....]ς Ἰσάκεως , Σαμβαθ (άων ) Ἰακούβου : the paper is a γραφὴ σιτολ (όγων ).
