Section 184
58Many witnesses here read the diminutive τεϰνία μoν (in the other texts quoted the word is τέϰνoν).
59Gk. ὀνήσɩμoς, from the root of the verb ὀνίνημɩ, “bring profit or advantage to someone” (cf. ὀναίμην in v. 20). Cf. the name Onesiphorus (”bearing profit”) in 2 Tim. 1:16; 4:19.
60Cf. the name Chrestus (Gk. ϰϱηστóς, verbal adjective from ϰϱάω, ϰϱάoμαɩ), confused with Christ (Christus, Χϱɩστóς) by Suetonius (Claudius 25.4) and others.
61He was formerly ἂϰϱηστoς but is now εὒϰϱηστoς (from ϰϱάω, ϰϱάoμαɩ, “use”); the latter adjective is applied to Mark in 2 Tim. 4:11.
