Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

A-1NounStrong's Number: g4246Greek: presbutes

Aged:

"an elderly man," is a longer form of presbus, the comparative degree of which is presbuteros, "a senior, elder," both of which, as also the verb presbeuo, "to be elder, to be an ambassador," are derived from proeisbaino, "to be far advanced." The noun is found in Luk 1:18, "an old man;" Tts 2:2, "aged men," and Phm 1:9, where the RV marg., "Paul an ambassador," is to be accepted, the original almost certainly being presbeutes (not presbutes), "an ambassador." So he describes himself in Eph 6:20. As Lightfoot points out, he is hardly likely to have made his age a ground of appeal to Philemon, who, if he was the father of Archippus, cannot have been much youngerthan Paul himself.
