Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐμπαιγμός shows us the Pauline phrase (1 Cor 16% a/.). In 7. 2135 (ii/A D.) we have ἐμὰ yap ἐστιν, while the masculine = ‘‘ the members of my family” is found in P Par 70! (Ptol.) τὸ σύμβολον τῶν ἐμῶν, P Oxy I. 1157 (ii/A.D.) πάντες οἱ ἐμοί : cf. Preisigke 1768 (Thebes) τῇδ προ -- σ᾿: κύγηϊμα] τῶν [ἐϊμ[ῶν] πάντων. The use of ἐμός is very characteristic of the Johannine writings (cf. Proleg. p. 40 π. 3), and Thumb (7.1.2, 1903, p. 421) regards this as a sign of their connexion with Asia Minor, in view of the fact that ἐμός survives in modern Pontic—Cappadocian Greek, as against pov elsewhere: but see Pro/eg. p. 211.
