Re: Marcion and the Use of Diminutives With Saint Names
Similarly the name "Papias" (of Hierapolis) is a hypocorism. Papias clearly came from a family with deep roots in the region. That is the only possible explanation for his name, which was very common in Phrygia and the surrounding regions and it is typical of Anatolian hypocoristic nicknam...

Re: Marcion and the Use of Diminutives With Saint Names
The case here is probably that of an “extended” root pap(p)a: father, dad; food (Lat. pāpa, pappa; children's word for food, meal, father; pappō –āre: eat), which is used in Greek (just like in Latin) as a hypocorism: πάπας πατρὸς ὑποκόρισμα18; παππίᾱς (father);19 and finally in the verb παππάζειν:...

Re: A Critical Reconstruction of the Marcionite Gospel (Part
Two camps are pretty straight forward: I don't agree with this statement. In life things can be made simple and straight forward.
