Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This proper name (Colossians 4:9, Philemon 1:10) from the adj. ὀνήσιμος, ";useful,"; may be illustrated from P Grenf II. 38.17 (B.C. 81) ἢ λογεύσι (l. σεἰ) καὶ ἀνανκάσι (l. σεἰ) με Ὀνησιμωι (l. Ὀνήσιμος) ἀγοράσ [α ]ι κριθῆς κτλ., P Gen I. 4.10 (beg. iii/A.D.). ] τοῦ τόπου μου ἀμφο [δάρ ]χης Ὀνήσιμος ἀνεγράψατό με ἐπὶ κώμη [ς ] Ἀργεάδος, and from the inscrr. Magn 242 τόπος Ὀν [η ]σίμου, ib. 300 ἡ σόρος (";grave";) . Ὀνησίμου τοῦ Παυσιμάχου. Thieme (p. 40) notes that the name is specially common in the case of slaves, though not confined to them, as is shown by the mention of a γραμματεὺς Μ. Ὀνήσιμος on a coin of Caracalla’s time : cf. also Ὀνησίμη in Syll 865.5, a woman whom a manumitted slave is to serve till her death. Dittenberger’s Index (p. 89) shows other exx. : see also Lightfoot Colossians 2:1-23 p. 310, Zahn Introd. i. p. 458, and Hatch in JBL xxvii. (1908), p. 146.
