proper name (Eng., “Cyria”), in spite of the fact that the full form of address in v. 1 is not

under No. 3). The general tendency in the vernacular was to use nouns
in

freely, apart from their diminutive significance. It is used only by the apostle
John, (a) in the plural, in the Lord’s command to Peter, John 21:15, with symbolic
reference to young converts; (b) elsewhere, in the singular, in the Apocalypse, some 28
times, of Christ as the “Lamb” of God, the symbolism having reference to His character
