In the apocalypse of Peter, Temeluchus is a good angel or perhaps even a class of angels that takes care of children murdered by their parents. I also read that it's name meant "care taking" and because the word was so rare people thought it was a proper name of an angel. I thought I should mention this, I'd add it to the article myself but I'm not very good at writing paragraphs and I'd probably mess up the page.--Tony 03:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In support of Tonymora's observation / proposal to add content from critical scholarship which suggests Temeluchus is not the proper name of an angel (at least not in Apocalypse of Peter), and but is a very uncommon Greek verb /temelouchos/ [care-taking], one could cite M.R. James's 1924 translation and notes, the text of which is archived at http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/apocalypsepeter-mrjames.html I might do the edit to the article myself at some point. Or not. 134.197.0.21 (talk) 22:47, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
