Re: Joseph of Arimathea.

Bartimaeus is a terrible example. Jewish naming conventions would still apply with individuals who happened to have Greek names. There are individuals called "Andrew" etc in the rabbinic literature

Re: Inquiry regarding the Christ hymn of Philippians 2.6-11.

no I am wrong most of the time. We have to get rid of Carrier's pre-existent Jesus Logos and the idea that Jesus derived from pagan gods. Jesus isn't the name above all names.

Re: Origen -- A Basic Stylometric Study

FWIW Both Clement and Origen are credited with writing "Stromata" in 7 and 10 books respectively. I also wonder about a reference in Quis Dives S to a work which sounds suspiciously similar to De Principiis (from bed). Their relationship is curious. Something strange going on
