    I lean toward option one. There are differing views within many acceptable commentaries & the writings contained in the Early Church Fathers collection. The breakdown of the title itself has the elements of a) laity and b) one who has victory or conquest over another in many commentaries.

    Wade Cox wrote a rather lengthy paper on the subject. It can be found at The Nicolaitans (No. 202)

    There are three kinds of people- those who can count, and those who can't.
