Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐναγκαλίζομαι Heitmiiller’s proof (47 Mamen Jesu, Gottingen 1903) that eis (τὸ) ὄνομα belonged, in various 2wances, to Greek mercantile phraseology, while ἐν (τῷ) ὀνόματι was almost exclusively Jewish, though not foreign to the genius of Greek, observes that the promiscuity of εἰς and ἐν in Hellenistic explains the survival of the more literary archaizing év by the side of the common εἰς. The ¢emporal use of ἐν to denote the period within which anything is done is naturally very common, 6. g. Sy// 177° (B.C. 303) ἐ[ν] ἔτεσιν τρίσιν, P Eleph 20%? (iii/B.c.) ἐν τοῖς καθήκουσιν xpdvois, P Tebt II. 3867! (B.c. 12) ἐκτίσω ἐν ἡμέραις τριάκοντα, P Oxy IT. 2754 (A.D. 66) ἕκαστα ποιήσω (Z. εἰ) μὴ συνκομίσω τὸν χόρτον ἐν τρίσι ἡμέραις (cf. Jn 271) οὐ δύναμε (1. -μαι) αὐτὰ καταλῖψαι. For ἐν in adverbial phrases, see P Eleph 107 (B.c. 223--2) τῶν λοιπῶν ἐν ἑτοίμωι ὄντων, P Hib I. 47°® (B.c. 256) ἀπόστειλον . . ἐν τάχει (οἴ. Lk 188, Rom 16°, Rev 11, 22°). The characteristically Lukan usage of ἐν τῷ followed by an inf. can no longer be ranked as a pure Hebraism, but belongs rather tothe category of ‘‘ possible but unidiomatic ” Greek (see Proleg. pp. 14, 215, 249), though it should be noted that as yet no parallel has been found for it with the sense ‘‘during”: see P Par 63°°(B.c. 164) (= P Petr III. p. 26) tls yap οὕτως ἐστὶν ἀνάλητος (9) ἐν τῶι λογίζεσθαι ; ‘for who is so utterly wanting in reason?” and P Oxy IY. 743°° (B.c. 2) where it is = διὰ τό: ἐν TO δέ με περισπᾶσθαι οὐκ ἠδυνάσθην συντυχεῖν ᾿Απολλω(νίῳ), ‘owing to my worries I was unable to meet A.” (Εα4.). In his monograph Die meutestamentliche Formel “in Christo Jesu” (Marburg, 1892) Deissmann has conclusively shown the originality of Paul’s use, though the idea of the mystic indwelling may rightly be traced to the Lord’s own teaching, see SH on Rom 61, The Psenosiris letter, P Grenf If. 73° (late iii/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 117), 15 addressed ’Amé\Aov . . ἀγαπητῷ ἀδελφῷ ἐν K(vpl)w, and concludes with the prayer2!# ἐρρῶσθαί oe εὔχομαι ἐν K(vpt)p O(6)6. We may conclude with a few miscellaneous examples— P Petr I. 22 (1)4 τοῦ ἐν ταῖς προσόδοις, ‘‘ who controls the revenues” (Ed.), P Lille I. 777 (iii/B.c.) ἃ ἐδεδώκειν ἐν φυ(λακῆι), “had given me to keep,” P Hib I. 11318 (c. B.C. 260) ἐν Τοτοῆι Πάσιτος λογευτῆι ὧι μηθὲν ὑπάρχει, ““owed by Totoés son of Pasis, tax-collector, who has no property” (Edd.), P Par 667 (iii/B.c.) λ[οι]πά, ad’ ὧν ἐν τοῖς yewpyo[t]s KTA., a curious usage which Smyly (P Petr III. p. 344) understands as = ‘‘ of this remainder (so much) is due from the cultivators,” P Lond 1171* (p.c. 8) (=III. p. 179) ἀνθ᾽ ὧν τῶν ἐπάνωι ἐν ὑὕπερδαπανήμασι, ‘under the head of deficits,’ and from the inserr. γὼ 178 (iv/B.c.) καθάπερ καὶ Φίλιππος ἔδωκεν ἐμ πατρικοῖς καὶ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐκγόνοις, where Dittenberger notes, ‘‘ eodem iure ac si a patre hereditatem accepisset.” In MGr éy has been supplanted by els, though it survives as a prefix in such disguised forms as μπαίνω, pra a, ντρέπομαι.
