Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Thieme (p. 40) quotes instances of this proper name from Magnesia (Magn 122 d.14—not later than iv/A.D.) and Hierapolis (Hierap. 80), proving that its occurrence outside Rome was well established, and consequently that the common identification of τοὺς ἐκ τῶν Ναρκίσσου (Romans 16:11) with the household of the well-known freedman of that name is by no means certain. Rouffiac (p. 90) cites also an ex. from Thasos IG XII. 8, 548, 2 : cf. Zahn Introd. i. p. 419, The word, as a plant-name, is probably derived from a Mediterranean tongue : for the termination -σσος cf. κυπάρισσος. As the plant is sedative, the influence of νάρκη upon the stem may be traced (Boisacq, p. 657).
