Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
καλλιέλαιος. This NT ἅπ. εἰρ. (Rom 1134) is fully discussed by Plasberz in Archiv ii. p. 219 ff. in connexion with a Strassburg papyrus containing certain fragmentary Sayings. In one of these, ΟΣ, the phrase els καλλιελαίαν occurs, and, though the context is far from clear, the editor thinks there is evidence that the word forms part of a Saying current in JewishChristian circles, and may therefore have been derived from the Pauline passage. If not, both the unknown writer and Paul must have found the word in current usage.
