Greetings

Two questions.

1. Would anyone care to speculate concerning more or less what age to draw the line between older and younger men/women in Titus 2:2-6? The words I have in mind are PRESBUTAS and PRESUTIDAS for older people, NEAS and NEWTEROUS for younger.

2. I found this quote in A Lion Handbook of the World's Relgions: "In contrast, by the time of Theophrastos (370-287 BCE), a word was in use whose meaning, 'fear of' or 'reverence for' divinity, already had such negative overtones that it could designate the 'superstitious' person" (C C Smith 1994:99). Anyone know what word he is alluding to?

Thanks
