Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";a prophetess"; (Luke 2:36, Revelation 2:20). In Magn 122 d.3 (probably time of Diocletian) this word is conjecturally restored by the editor—ἐξ Εὐαγρίο [υ ] Βαρίλλας προ (φήτιδος ?) Τραλλ (ιανοῦ) : see Thieme p. 19 f. The proper name Προφήτιλλα is found in a sepulchral inscr. from Hierapolis, C. and B. i. p. 118, No. 27 (c. A.D. 200). Ramsay thinks that the name may be Christian, and that, if so, it was bestowed on this woman at a time when women-prophets were a feature of the Christianity of Anatolia, i.e. towards the close of ii/A.D.
