Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐνιαυτός. For ἐ. as a definite period of time, cf. P Hib I. 2839 (c. B.C. 265) ὑπαρχουσῶν [δὲ εἰς [τὸν] ἐν[ι]αυτὸν [ἡ]μερῶ[ν τριαἸϊκοσίων ἑξήκοντα, P Tor I. 1% (p.c. 117-6) μὴ συνχωρητέον εἶναι πλείονα ἐνιαυτοῦ ἢ καὶ ἐτῶν δύο ἢ τριῶν, ‘*a longer period must not be granted than ἃ year or two years or three years,” P Oxy I. 3719 (law-suit with reference to a nursing contract—Aa.D. 49) (= Selections, p. 49) Tod πρώτου ἐνιαυτοῦ ἀπέλαβεν τὰ τροφεῖα᾽ ἐνέστη. ἡ προθεσμία τοῦ δευτέρου ἐνιαυτοῦ, ‘‘for the first year she [the nurse] received her wages for nursing: there arrived the appointed day in the second year.” The word is frequently found with els as in P Flor I. 2515 (a.p. 265) ἐπ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν ἕνα, and (with the aspirate) P Oxy VIII. 1116! (a.p. 363) ἐφ᾽ ἑνιαυτὸν ἕνα : cf. also 26. II. 2753 (A.D. 66) (= Selections, p- 55) ἐπὶ χρόνον ἐνιαυτὸν ἕνα. For other prepositional phrases, cf. P Strass I. 22° (iii/A.p.) ἡ [δ] ἐνιαυτοῦ νομὴ αὐτάρκης ἐστίν, P Hib 1. 27?°°(B.c. 301-240) ἐν τῶι ἐνιαυτῶι, 76. 48. κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτόν, Ρ Ryl II. 1108 (A.D. 259) καθ᾽ ἕκαστίο]ν ἐνιαυτόν, P Thead 164 (after A.D. 307) κατὰ τὸν προπέρυσι ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ πέρυσι, “‘depuis l’avant-derniére et la derniére année,” P Flor I. 5018 (Α.}). 268) ἐνιαυτῷ παρ᾽ 5 > , €VKAKE® ἐνιαυτόν, 25. 6424 (iv/A.D. ad znit.2) ἐϊνιαυτὸν παρ᾽ ἐνιαυτόν. In Sy// 43818? (c. B.c. 400) μηδ᾽ ἐν ταῖς δεκάτ[α]ις, μηδ᾽ ἐν τοῖς ἐνιαυτοῖ[ς, the reference is to ‘‘anniversaries.” Sy// S025 (iii/B.c.) shows the word along with ἔτος, the heading of a cure effected by Apollo and Asclepios—KaAJed πένθ᾽ ἕτη ἐκύησε, being immediately followed by—Atra πέντ᾽ ἐνιαυτοὺς ἤδη κυοῦσα KTA. For the adj. ἐνιαύσιος see P Ryl 11. 98% (a.p. 172) φόρον ἐνιαυσίου σύνπαντι, ‘at a total yearly rent,” and for éfevlavta = *‘annual sum” see P Amh IT. 86% (a.p. 78) ἂς (sc. δραχμὰς) καὶ ἀπ[οδ]ώσω kat’ ἔτος ἐξενίαυτα ἐν μηνὶ Φαῶφι, “I will pay every year the annual sum in the month of Phaophi” (Edd.). ἐνίστη μι. Contemporary usage makes it clear that in 2 Th 22 ὡς ὅτι ἐνέστηκεν ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ Κυρίου, ἐνέστηκεν should be rendered as pointing to strictly present time, ‘‘as that the day of the Lord is zow present’? (RV) and not ‘‘is at hand” (AV): see, 6. g., the references to the curen¢ month and year in such passages as BGU I. 225 (a.p. 114) (= Selections, p. 74) τῇ ὃ τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος μηνὸς Φαρμοῦθι, P Fay 28!9(a.p. 150-1) (= Selections, p. 82) εἰς τὸ ἐνεστὸς ιδ (ros): cf. Milligan Thess. p. 97, Zahn Jntr. i. p. 235. Add such passages as P Tebt II. 383°? (A.D. 46) where certain shares are assigned to contracting parties ἀπὸ τῆς ἐνεστώσης ἡμέρας ἐπὶ τὸν ἅπαντα χρόνον, P Lond ττό4(λ)5 (A.p. 212) (=I. p. 164) ἀπὸ τῆς ἐνεστώσης καὶ ὑποκειμένης ἡμέρας, P Oxy I. 37) 1 (A.D. 49) ἐνέστηι ἡ προθεσμία τοῦ δευτέρου ἐνιαυτοῦ, καῇ] πάλιν ἀπέλαβεν, “the appointed day in the second year came, and again she received (her wages), and P Flor I. 1° (A.D. 153) τῆς προθεσμίας ἐνστάσης, so 25. 8119 (A.D. 103). Mayser Gr. p. 371 collects many instances illustrating various forms of the verb.
