Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐκδίδωμι. With ἐκδίδομαι = ““1εξ out for my advantage” may be compared the sense of ‘‘ apprentice” found in the papyri, e.g. P Oxy 11. 275% (A.D. 66) (= Selections, p. 55) ὁ μὲν Τρύφων ἐγδεδόσθαι τῷ ἸΤτολεμαίῳ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ υἱὸν Θοῶνιν, ““T, (agrees) that he has apprenticed to P. his son Th.,” P Tebt IT. 385% (a.b. 117) ἐξέδοτο Τεφερσάεις . . . τὸν ἑαυτῆς υἱὸν Kpovlwva, ‘TT. has apprenticed her son C.” Similarly the fragment of a marriage-contract, dated A.D. 74-5, P Oxy II. 372, begins ἐξέδοτο Taovvadpis (the mother of the bride) : so P Giss I. 24 (B.c. 173), BGU IV. r100° (time of Augustus), P Oxy X. 1273! (A.D. 260), and often. Cf. P Oxy 11. 2370}: 28 (Α.Ὁ. 186) τῆς παιδὸς τῆς ἐκδεδομένης, ‘a daughter given in marriage.” For the form ἐξέδετο, as in Mk 121 and parallels (cf. Exod 2% A), see PSI IV. 2888 (ii/A.p.) ἀποχὴν ἡμ[ε]ῖν eeSero. The general sense ‘‘issue,” ‘‘ give out,’ appears in P Petr III. 43(2) versou. 6 ἐξεδόθη, and P Tebt II. 397!(A.D. 198) ἐξεδό(θησαν), both of the giving out of certain contracts: so P Ryl 11. 16316 (A.D. 139) ἡ π]ρᾶσις κυρία. . . ἣν Kal ἐξεδόμην σοι δισσήν (Ὁ), “ this deed of sale is valid, and I have issued it to you in duplicate” (Edd.), PSI III. 20418 (a.p. 140) διὰ τραπέζης ἐγδώσῳ of a receipt, P Fay 34° (A.p. 161) ἐκδῶναι σύμβολα, ‘to issue receipts.” For the use of the subst. ἔκδοσις in marriage-contracts, see Chrest. 11. i. p. 216, and on ἐκδόσιμα = official copies, see the editors’ note on P Oxy III. 494% An unexplained term ἀπέγδοσις is found in P Petr IT. 13 (4)? (B.c. 258-3). The corresponding εἰσδίδωμι, hitherto almost unknown, is now well attested : see exx. in Mayser Gr. p. 489, and similarly 7d. p. 438 for εἴσδοσις (not in LS). See ἔκδοτος, z7fra.
