For the metaph. use of this word ";excellence,"; ";preeminence,"; in 1 Timothy 2:2 (cf. 2 Maccabees 3:11), Deissmann (BS p. 255) cites Perg 252.20 (after B.C.133) τῶν ἐν ὑπεροχῇ ὄντων, with reference to persons of consequence.Add P Michigan Inv, No. 191.11 (early ii/A.D.) ( = Classical Philology xxii. (1927), p. 245), where a father flatters his son on his superiority over his brothers—οἶδας ὅτι πᾶν ῥα ̣[διο ]ν ε ̣ι ̣̓ς τ ̣[οὺς ἀ ]δελφούς σου διαφορὰ [ν ἔ ]χει ̣ς κ ̣αὶ ὑπεροχήν, ";you know that in everything you easily differ from and hold preeminence over your brothers"; (Ed.), and Aristeas 175 πόλεων ἐν ὑπεροχαῖς, ";eminent cities.";
The word readily comes to be used as a title of honour, e.g. P Oxy I. 130.20 (vi/A.D.) οὐκ ἔχω γὰρ ἄλλην καταφυγὴν εἰ μὴ τὴν τοῦ δεσπότου Χριστοῦ καὶ τῆς ὑμετέρας ὑπεροχῆς, ";for I have no other refuge than in the Lord Christ and your eminence"; (Edd.), a petitioner addressing the dux of the Thebaid, and ib. XVI. 1829.14 (c. A.D.577–9 (?)).
