πυρρός —
literally ";red as fire"; (cf. 4Ki. 3:22 [MT 2 Kings 3:22]), is applied in the milder sense of ";ruddy"; to a witness to a will, P Petr I. 13 (2).12 (B.C. 237). In P Leid Wvii. 46 (ii/iii A.D.) we have ποίσον (= ποίησον) ὑπποπόταμω (= ο)ν ἐκ κηροῦ πυρροῦ, and in P Oxy VI. 922.8 (vi/vii A.D.) ὑπὲρ τοῦ πυρροῦ ἵππου (cf. Revelation 6:4. The double ρρ is preserved in the LXX and NT as in the papyri, cf. BGU II. 468.8 (A.D. 150) καμήλου ἄρρενος πυρροῦ, and see Mayser Gr. p. 221. It may be noted that πυρ (ρ)ός and πυρ (ρ)άζω drop a ρ in Matthew 16:2 C and late uncials, Revelation 6:4 APO46, 12.3 CO46 : see Moulton Gr. ii. p. 101.
For the form πυρράκης, as in 1 Kings 16:12 [MT 1 Samuel 16:12], cf. P Petr I. 14.30 (B.C. 237), and see Mayser Gr. p. 455; and for πυρρόχρους cf. P Ryl II. 134.16 (A.D. 34) ὗς τοκὰς ἐπίτοκος πυρρόχρους, ";a brood-sow about to litter, tawny-coloured"; (Edd).
Πύρρος —
According to the critical text Πύρρος is named in Acts 20:4 as the father of Sopater of Beroea. The name is by no means rare in the papyri, and is spelt both with double and single ρ : e.g. P Oxy I. 47.3 (late i/A.D.) ὑπὸ Πύρρου τοῦ ἀσχολημένο (υ), and ib, 43 rectov. 9 (A.D. 295) Πύρῳ ὀπτίωνι : other exx. in Preisigke Namenbuch.
