Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐγγράφω is used as practically equivalent to the simple γράφω in P Lond 35815 (c. a.v. 150) (=II. p. 172) évérvx[ov τῷ] ἡγεμονεύσαντι ᾿Οναράτ[ῳ] ὃς ἐνέγραψέ μοι ἐντυχ[ε]ῖν Kpaτίστῳ τῷ ἐπιστρατ[ηγή]σαντι. For the meaning ‘‘record” see P Cairo Preis 128 (ii/A.p.) ἐὰν yap μηδὲν ἐπερώτημα ἡ évyeypa[ppévov . . . , and for ‘‘inscribe” see PSI I. 2830 (iii/iv A.D. Ὁ) συντέλεσον τὰ [éyy]eypappéva τῷ πεδάλῳ τούτου (/. πετάλῳ τούτῳ. The verbal ἔγγραπτος is common, e.g. P Rein 18%!

(A.D. 112) α΄. A good example of ἔγγραφος is afforded by P Oxy I. 70! (iii/A.D.) πᾶσα κυϊρῆα ἔνγραφος συναλλαγὴ πίστιν καὶ ἀλήθ[ειαν ἔϊχει, “every valid written contract is credited and accepted” (Edd.). On the ἔγγραφος as distinguished from the &ypahos γάμος see Chrest. 11. i. p. 209 ff. ᾿Εγγράφως = "ἴῃ writing,’ P Oxy I. 535 (a.D. 316), 24 III. 4755 (A.D. 182), 7b. VI. 9o2!17 (c, A.D. 465) αἱ. ᾿Εγγράμματος occurs in a woman’s petition to a prefect : she claims the right to act without a guardian, in view of the fact, amongst other conditions, that she is ἐνγράμματος δὲ Kall é]s τὰ μάλιστα γράφειν εὐκόπως δυναμένη, “literate and able to write with the greatest ease” (P Oxy XII. 146713 &—a.D. 263).
