Junia

JUNIA, or as some copies read it, Julia, is joined with Andronicus in the Epistle to the Roman. Chap. xvi. ver. 7. They were S. Paul’s relations. Salute Andronicus and Junia my kinsmen and fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the Apostles. These last words, who are of note among the Apostles, persuade many of the moderns, that the right name is JuniasPluique in Rom. xvi. 7. Menoch. Tirin. Hamm. vide et Theodoret. in Rom., and that this person is a man as well as Andronicus. But S. Chrysostom, Theophylact, and several others take Andronicus for a man, and Junia for a woman, and perhaps the wife of Andronicus. The Greeks and Latins keep their festival on the seventeenth day of May, and distinguish them as husband and wife.¹
