Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
δαπάνη [page 137]
δαπάνη is very common. Thus P Fay 101 verso .5 ( c. B.C. 18) δαπάνης (δραχμαὶ ) δ̄ , P Oxy II. 294 .27 (A.D. 22) = ( Selections , p. 36) εἰς δαπάνην οὗ ἔχι μου , with reference to the expense of what he has belonging to me, ib. VIII. 1125 .18 (ii/A.D.) ἰδίαις ἑαυτοῦ δαπάναις . In P Lond 356 .16 (i/A.D.) (= II. p. 252, Selections p. 59) the writer warns his correspondent that if he sells him stale drugs γείνωσκε σαυτὸν ἕξοντα πρὸς ἐμὲ περὶ τῶν δαπανῶν , understand that you will have to settle with me with regard to the expenses. P Lond III. 1171 .24 (accounts B.C. 8) (= III. p. 178) shows the new word ὑπερδαπάνη , i.e. debit balance or deficit : ὑπερδάπανον (?) and ὑπερδαπάνημα are also found in this sense in the same papyrus. The simple δαπάνημα , which belongs to later Greek, is common, e.g. BGU III. 1001 i. 13 (B.C. 56) τ ]ά τε βλάβη καὶ δαπανήματα .
