Pompeiani, Caesariani), apparently invented by the Anticchenes as a nickname for the partisans or followers of Christ, Ac 117°, cf. 265, τ Pet 415, From the fact that in these, the only instances of its use in the NT, Codex Sinaiticus writes the word Xpyottavol, Blass thinks that this was the original form (cf. Hermes xxx. (1895), p. 465 ff.), but the difference in spelling may be due
