Bernadette Brooten writes: "John Chrysostom was not alone in the ancient
church in taking the name [Junia] to be feminine. The earliest commentator
on Romans 16:7, Origen of Alexandria (c. 185-253/54), took the name to be
feminine (Junta or Julia, which is a textual variant), as did Jerome, Hatto
of Vercelli, Theophylact (c.1050-c.1108), and Peter Abelard (1079-1142). In
fact, to the best of my knowledge, no commentator on the text until Aegidius
of Rome (1245-1316) took the name to be masculine."

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.
