>> The Columbia Encyclopedia has:
>>
>> "Phocylides: (fsl´dz) (KEY) , fl. 6th cent. B.C., Greek poet, b.
>> Miletus. His gnomic (aphoristic) verses exist in fragments."
>>
>> B. B. Warfield also seems to mention a reference in Plutarch, but he
>> was
>> a considerably younger contemporary of Paul:
>>
>> "Plut. de Placit. Philosoph. 5. 2, 'tous oneirous tous
>> theopneustous'."
