Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

πρεσβῦτις, “an old woman.” It is sometimes thought that the πρεσβύτιδες of Tit 2°, the only place where the word occurs in the NT (cf. 4 Macc 161), are the members of a priestly or organized class in view of the tepompemets which follows, see the citations s.v. tepompemns ; but the word need not imply more than that the πρεσβύτιδες ‘are to carry into daily life the demeanour of priestesses in a temple’? (Lock 7CC ad /.), and this meaning is strongly confirmed by the context (cf. v. 2). ?
