Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Τρόφιμος, “‘Trophimus”’ (Ac 204 a/.), as a proper name, occurs in P Oxy VIII. 1160? (late iii/iv a.D.) κυρίῳ pov πατρὶ ᾿Ωριγένης Τρόφιμος πολλὰ χαίρειν, and in the inserr. J/agn 122 (6)" (not later than iv/a.D.), PAS ii. 3859, αὐ. The word in its sense of ‘‘ foster-child ” may be illustrated from P Oxy X. 1284" (A.D. 250) ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτοῦ τροφίμί(ου) μηίτρός), ‘from his foster-child’s mother,” 26. VI. 903% (iv/A.D.) ἅμα τῶν τροφίμ[ω]ν pov, ‘along with my fosterdaughters.” For © τρόφιμος (as frequently in comedy), “the young heir,” see Menander ᾽᾿Εἰπιτρέπ. 160: cf. Fragm. 5317 where there is a τ". 7. Τρόφιμε.
