Don't have TLG, but I seriously doubt there are any occurrances of  the word as a
"title."  There were precious few, if any, "titles" in first century Christianity,
beyond "brother" and "sister."  Even common titles today like minister, preacher,
elder, bishop, deacon, etc.,  were originally  descriptive 'functions rather than
titles.'
