It is interesting to note in passing that Timothy is an Ionian name, since the Greeks in Palestine were Ionians (hence the Hebrew name for Greeks: "Sons of Javanim"), and—since "Lachoneus" means "a Laconian"—that the oldest Greek traders were Laconians, who had colonies in Cyprus (Book of Mormon Akish) and of course traded with Palestine.24<ref>{{Book:Nibley:CW06\|pages=[http://publications.maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/fullscreen/?pub=1107&index=25 Chapter 22], {{sofr}}}}</ref></blockquote></onlyinclude>		<blockquote>The occurrence of the names Timothy and Lachoneus in the Book of Mormon is strictly in order, however odd it may seem at first glance.
