Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Χλόη [page 689]
the Verdant, an epithet of Demeter, which may have led to its use as a proper name, especially among members of the freedmen class (like Phoebe, Hermes and Nereus, Rom. 16:1; Rom. 16:14-15). Hence Lighlfoot ( Notes , p. 152) thinks that Chloe of 1Co. 1:11 was a freedwoman : cf. the mention of the slave Chloe in Hor. Od. iii. 9. 9, me nunc Thressa Chloe regit. More recently F, R. Montgomery Hitchcock in JTS xxv. (1924), p. 163 ff. has taken the view that οἱ Χλόης ln 1 Cor l.c. were a pagan body, probably followers of Demeter. The noun under the form χλούη (= χλόη ), green corn or grass, occurs bis in P Tebt I. 112 46,.94 (B.C.112).
