******GK: Actually the above refer to a text based on
manuscripts of Jerome's putative source. In his own
work, "Tychicus" appears in the list of Hebrew names
in the Epistle to the Colossians (cf. PL, vol. 23,
col. 855). If you read the Preface (cols. 771-772) you
will see that by "interpretatur" Jerome means
"etymologizes as". Note also that Jerome's Liber de
nominibus haebraicis was composed ca. 390,
approximately two years after his Commentary on
Ephesians. In the latter, he is clearly referring to
the Ps.(?)-Origen when he writes that Tychicus means
"silens". In the LDNH Tychicus is explained as
"tacens". Your opinion that Jerome was an infallible
Hebraist is not supported by the evidence of his own
writings. I will charitably refrain from commenting on
your further speculations (:=))).******
