Interesting trivia re Dives and Lazarus. Dives is Latin, not Hebrew or Aramaic, while Lazarus is Jewish. Dives is also a nickname adopted by Crassus, who purloined Temple treasure to fund an expedition against the Parthians, which failed, according to Josephus. This would have been known to Jesus' audience.
