I've seen it used in ancient jewish texts as a greek form of hebrew Avshalom (Absalom). Since the greek Ptolemaios (when not referring to the king, whose name was changed to the biblical king's name Talmai) was rendered as Avtolmos.

it should also be noted that Talmai, the biblical king, was prince Absalom's maternal grandfather.
