STRONGS NT 3488: Νάρκισσος

Νάρκισσος, Ναρκίσσου, , Narcissus (i. e. 'daffodil'), a Roman mentioned in Romans 16:11, whom many interpreters without good reason suppose to be the noted freedman of the emperor Claudius (Suetonius, Claudius 28; Tacitus, ann. 11, 29f; 12, 57 etc.) (cf. Lightfoot on Philip., p. 175); in opposition to this opinion cf. Winers RWB, under the word; Rüetschi in Herzog x., 202f; (B. D., under the word).
