As I mentioned, however mystifying Papias' comment may be in other respects, it's "at least a little bit relevant" because it refers to Judas as being swelled-up, which seems to be a trace of the early understanding of "prenes."


Or, Papias' comments could have been the impetus for the mistranslation of prenes as "swelled up."

Is there any evidence of prenes being used as meaning "swelled up" in ancient literature? I haven't found any instances yet, but I've only searched portions of Homer's works.
