Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Φιλιππήσιος [page 670]
This Latin form ( Philippensis ) for the pure Greek Φιλιππεύς (cf. Syll .3 267A .3 after B.C. 347 6, with note) or Φιλιππηνός , is found in the title of the Ep. to the Philippians, and again in 4:14. W. M. Ramsay ( JTS i. (1900), p. 116) draws attention to this as one of the little noticed indications of Paul s preference for technical Latin forms to indicate Roman administrative ideas.
