Φιλήμων [page 670]
For the connexion of this name (Phm. 1:1) with Phrygia it is enough to refer to the legend of Philemon and Baucis : see Lightfoot Colossians 2 , p. 304. For other exx. of the name cf. P Hib I. 70 ( a ) .8 (B.C. 229 8), P Oxy I. 43 verso iv. 5 (A.D. 295), and from the inscrr. Magn 117 .8 where it is the title of the ἄππας of Dionysus, and Perg 341 4 Φιλη̣ μων῎ Ανθου σκουτλάριος (both cited by Thieme, p. 41).
