";the Verdant,"; an epithet of Demeter, which may have led to its use as a proper name, especially among members of the freedmen class (like Phoebe, Hermes and Nereus, Rom. 16:1; Rom. 16:14-15). Hence Lighlfoot (Notes, p. 152) thinks that Chloe of 1Co. 1:11 was a freedwoman : cf. the mention of the slave Chloe in Hor. Od. iii. 9. 9, ";me nunc Thressa Chloe regit."; More recently F, R. Montgomery Hitchcock in JTS xxv. (1924), p. 163 ff. has taken the view that οἱ Χλόης ln 1 Cor l.c. were a pagan body, probably followers of Demeter. The noun under the form χλούη (= χλόη), ";green corn or grass,"; occurs bis in P Tebt I. 11246,.94 (B.C.112).
