Chapter 4, considers the 306 words which are found in the Pastorals but not in the other Paulines, and shows that many of these words are found in first- and second-century Hellenistic writings: 165 in Philo’s, 130 in Epictetus’s, 140 in Dio Chrysostom’s, and 217 in Plutarch’s, including 109 of the 175 Pastorals’ words which are found nowhere else in the New Testament. A new appendix also cites phrases found in the Pastorals and in second-century writings. Harrison
