Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
εὐαγγελιστής. H. Achelis (ZV7W i. p. 87 f.) finds a trace of early Christianity in the use of this word in an inscr. from the Greek islands edited by H. von Gartringen C/G7Jns I. 1, No. 675° (Rhodes) Δάφνας kal θεοῦ ἀρχιερεὺς. .. OHPOC (= 6 [ἱε]ρὸς, Kaibel) εὐαγγελιστής, but see, on the other hand, A. Dieterich (26. p. 336 ff.) who reads 6 ἥρως evayyedἱστής, and thinks that ‘‘ the chief priest of Daphne and the god”’ is so described as the proclaimer of the oracular announcements. The word occurs in the Christian amulet P Oxy VIII. 1515 (v/a.p.?) with reference to the evangelist John—rod ἁγίου καὶ ἐνδόξου ἀποστόλου κ(αὶ) evayyedἱστοῦ κ(αὶ) θεολόγου ᾿Ιωάννου : cf. CPR I. 30* (vi/a.p.) τοῦ ἁγίου ᾿Τωάννου τοῦ εὐλόγου καὶ εὐαγγελιστοῦ.
