Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
δέκα. The indeterminate use of δέκα to denote simply a period of time, which is found in Biblical Greek (Gen 2455, Numb , δεκαοκτω 1113, Dan 14, Rey 210), may be illustrated from P Petr IIT. 36 verso? where a prisoner complains that he has been harshly treated in prison—Awpa@t παραπολλύμενος μῆνές εἰσιν δέκα, *‘ p-rishing from hunger for the last ten months” ; and from a more literary source in the J/imes of Herodas I. 24 —Bék’ εἰσὶ μῆνες, during which a husband, who has gone on a journey to Egypt, does not write to his wife. See further Lumbroso in Archiv iv. p. 319 f., where some parallels are quoted from literary Kowy. Of course there is no proof that the above is not to be taken literally.
