For this headword as an adjective, found from Xenophon onwards, see under epsilon 3038. As a proper name it is not attested until the Christian era. See e.g. the fourth-century-CE (d.376) bishop of Sirmium and Arian (alpha 3834, alpha 3835) heretic (Catholic Encyclopedia entry at web address 1); also the fifth-century deacon of Thessalonica, later mentioned in Dante's Inferno (as one of the occupants of the sixth ring of hell).
