 Clayton:

 It doesn't seem to have faded away when Paul was writing to the Galatians:

 QAUMAZW hOTI hOUTWS TACEWS METATIQESQE APO TOU KALESANTOS hUMAS EN CARITI
 CRISTOU EIS *hETERON EUAGGELION, hO OUK ESTIN ALLO*, ktl (Gal 1:5-6).

 I remember as a schoolboy asking our Divinity teacher what that could
 possibly mean!  I was doing Latin then, but not yet Greek; but even Latin
 didn't help. "...in aliud evangelium quod non est aliud..." (Vulgate).

 Happy Easter
 Ben
