For the connexion of this name (Phm. 1:1) with Phrygia it is enough to refer to the legend of Philemon and Baucis : see Lightfoot Colossians2 , p. 304. For other exx. of the name cf. P Hib I. 70 (a).8 (B.C. 229–8), P Oxy I. 43 versoiv. 5 (A.D. 295), and from the inscrr. Magn 117.8 where it is the title of the ἄππας of Dionysus, and Perg 3414 Φιλη ̣ μων῎ Ανθου σκουτλάριος (both cited by Thieme, p. 41).
