- Λωί̈ς
- Λωί̈ς, ί̈δος, ἡ (PPetr II, 39b, 15 [III B.C.] has the genitive Λωϊτος from a nominative Λωϊς. Or does the name—which is found nowhere else—belong to a positive degree of comparison λῶϊς [claimed by Buttmann for the not uncommon λωί̈ων, a nom. sing.=more pleasant, more desirable]? Cp. Semonides 7, 30 D.3 [=West p. 102] οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλη τῆσδε λωί̈ων γυνή=no other woman is more worthy of being desired than this one.) Lois, grandmother of Timothy 2 Ti 1:5.—BHHW II 1103.
