Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Διοτρεφής Rom 139.22, 350. 87, are quoted for διότι = ““ for,” and add τ Pet 116 24, 25, as compared with 3!. 1 Th 28 and Gal 215 may be quoted as illustrating the ease of the colloquial transition: see Jebb in Vincent and Dickson Aod. Greek? App. p. 338. Mayser Gr. p. 161 has shown that the use of of διότι for ὅτι is by no means confined to occurrences after vowe's: cf. Thackeray Gr. i. p. 138 f. and Kaelker Quaest. pp: 243 f., 300. It may be added that, accorJing to Meisterhans Gr. p. 252 f., διότι is never used with a causal force in the Attic inserr. from ili/B.c. onwards. “ιοτρεφής. For this proper name, as 3 Jn®, cf. OG/S 219! (iii/B.c.) ἐπιμηνιεύοντος Νυμφίου τοῦ Διοτρεφοῦς.
