Eureka Classis
On June 7, 1911, seven ministers and sixteen congregations organized to form the Eureka Classis. The name of the Classis came from the Greek word ‘eureka’ which means ‘I found it’ and not on the town Eureka, South Dakota, where the second meeting of the Classis would be held. The name was designed to mean that they had found a solution to their doctrinal problems with the rest of the denomination.
Graea
If men from Oropos-Graia were among the early Greek visitors to Capua or Veii and even early Rome, we can better understand an age-old puzzle: why Greeks were called "Greeks" in the Latin West. Such people told their first contacts in the Latin region that they were "Graikoi," that is, people from Graia. They were thus called "Graeci" by the people whom they met.
The ethnonym comes from the adjective γραῖα "graia" "old woman", derived from the PIE root "*ǵerh-/*ǵreh-", "to grow old" via Proto-Greek "*gera-/grau-iu"; the same root later gave γέρας "geras" (/keras/), "gift of honour" in Mycenean Greek.
