Has anyone any insight on Romans 16:7, where Paul greets
Andronicus and Junia(s), as to whether the last named was
male or female? And if female, was she Andronicus' wife?
Chrysostom assumes this person was a woman; I am not
aware of any earlier commentary on the question. I have
seen it argued that Chrysostom's view should be accepted
as the earliest testimony on the subject; I've also seen it
argued that a woman would not have been called an apostle.

Read the article on Junia in BDAG, Fred Danker's revison of the Bauer lexicon of the NT. He points out that Junias is not attested anywhere in Greek, Junia is> It is certainly a reference to a woman. She may be Anronicus' wife.
