the Emperor a title for the Roman Emperor In a number of languages it is not easy to distinguish between terms for rulers such as ‘governor,’ ‘king,’ and ‘emperor.’ Sometimes one can only attempt a measure of distinction by indicating relative power or dominion. For example, ‘emperor’ may be rendered as ‘the great ruler’ or ‘the most important chief of all.’

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Καῖσαρ. Lightfoot (2:13 p. 169 ff.) has shown that by the phrase οἱ ἐκ τῆς Καίσαρος οἰκίας in Phil 42% we are probably to | | understand slaves and freedmen attached to the palace, and has appealed to inscriptional evidence to prove that the designation embraced a large number of persons both in Rome and elsewhere (e.g. Ephesus), filling every description of more or less domestic office: see further SH p. 418 ff. In BGU I. 1563 (A.p. 201) χρηματίσατε Σατουρνείνῳ Καισάρων οἰκονόμῳ, Wilcken (Oséy. i. p. 499 n.4) holds that Καισάρων stands for Καισάρων δούλῳ : similarly in P Lond 256 recto (A.D. 11-15) (=I. p. 96) Φαῦστος Πρίσκου Καίσαρος -- &. II. Καίσαρος δούλου (0. p. 662) ; cf. the simple gen. Χριστοῦ, ‘‘ belonging to Christ” (Gal 355 αὦ : On the other hand Καισάρειοι ““Tmperial freedmen,”’ e.g. in P Oxy 111. 477° (A.D. 1323), though their exact position is far from clear: see Chrest. I. 1. p. 47, and cf. Schubart Archiv vy. p. 116 ff. For Καισαριανοί, “ Caesar’s officials,” see Epict. i. 19. 19, and for καισάριον, ‘“‘ palace,” see an inscr. of the time of the Emperor Maurice referred to in Avchiv ii. p. 403.
