ἐλπίς “Ελληνιστί. P Giss I. 365 (B.c. 161) ἀ(ντίγραφον) [συγχωρήσεως Alyurr]([as με]θη[ρ]μην[εὐ]μένης “Ἑλληνιστὶ κατὰ τὸ δυνατόν, P Tor I. 1%4 (B.c. 117) ἀντίγραφα συγγραφῶν Αἰγυπτίων διηρμηνευμένων δ᾽ λληνιστί. For this form of the word see Mayser Gr. p. 457, and for the elliptical usage in Ac 2137 see Field Notes, p. 135 f. élhoyaw (—éw). To Lightfoot’s examples of this word from the inscriptions in his note on Philem?8 τοῦτο ἐμοὶ ἐλλόγα, may now be added several occurrences in the papyri in its general Hellenistic form ἐλλογέω. Thus the technical sense of ‘‘set to one’s account,”’ as in the Philemon passage, comes out well in P Ryl II. 243" (ii/a.b.) where two women write to their steward—8oa ποτὲ οὖν ἐὰν ἀναναλώσῃς (1. ἀναλώσῃΞς) ts τὴν τοῦ κλήρου κατεργασίαν, ἡμεῖν ἐνλόγησον ἐπὶ λόγου, “put down to our account everything you expend on the cultivation of the holding ” (Edd.), and in P Grenf II. 67*8 (A.D. 237) (= Selections, p. 109) ἐντεῦθε[ν] δὲ ἐσχή(κασι) ὑπὲρ ἀραβῶνος [τῇ τ]ιμῇ ἐλλογουμέν[ο]υ σίο]ι (δραχμὰς) [.] β, ‘‘earnest money to be reckoned in the PLIcejpas, claws Strass I. 3219 (A.D. 261) καὶ δότω λόγον, τί αὐτῷ ὀφείλ[ ται καὶ ποῦ παρέσχεν, ἵνα οὕτως αὐτῷ ἐνλογηθῇ, and so P Flor II. 134 * *29 (Α.Ὁ. 261), PSI I. 9217 (Π1114.}.). The more metaphorical usage of Rom 5° may be paralleled from an interesting rescript of the Emperor Hadrian in which he authorizes the announcement of certain privileges to his soldiers: BGU I. 140% (A.D. 119) οὐχ ἕνεκα τοῦ δοκεῖν pe αὐτοῖς ἐνλογεῖν, ‘‘not however that I may appear to be making a reckoning against them.” The form ἐνελογήθ(ησαν) is found sefties in BGU IV. 1028 (ii/a.D.). On the mixing of —d and —éa, see s.v. ἐλεέω ad fin. The verb is = ἐν λόγῳ τίθημι, according to the common use of λόγος, “accounts.” There is no connexion with ἔλλογος, “rational,” which is derived from ἐν λόγῳ in the other sense.
