It is worth noting that this proper name, which is of interest in the early history of the Christian Church (Romans 16:12, Acts of Paul and Thecla; cf. Lightfoot Philippians, p. 173 f.) is found in a i/A.D. list of names belonging apparently to Crocodilopolis, P Lond 604B.257 (c. A.D. 47) (= III. p. 84) : it also occurs of three different persons in the Alexandrian papyri from the age of Augustus (BGU IV. 1105.2, 5, 1119.7, 1162.16) : see further P Oxy II. 320 (A.D. 59), P Fay 49.4 (A.D. 138), P Ryl II. 111.5 (A.D. 161), and ib. 222.5 (ii/A.D.).
The corresponding masculine name Τρύφων is also very common : e.g. P Oxy VIII. 1132.4 (c. A.D. 162) : it is interesting to observe that in BGU IV. 1098.7 and 1140.2 (Augustus) it is the name of a Jew, as in Justin’s Dialogue.
