ἐντός [page 218]
We have no citation which throws any light on the much disputed meaning of ἐντὸς ὑμῶν in Luk_17:21 , but it may be noted that the same phrase occurs in a similar connexion in the second of the new sayings of Jesus, P Oxy IV. 654 .16 , ἡ βασ [ιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ] ἐντὸς ὑμῶν [ἐ ]στι [καὶ ὅστις ἂν ἑαυτὸν ] γνῷ ταύτην εὑρή [σει . . ., where the context favours the translation within you : for a different restoration of the latter part [καὶ ὃς ἐὰν τὰ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ] γνῷ , see Deissmann LAE p. 438. The word is used of time in such passages as P Oxy IV. 724 .11 (A.D. 155) ἐὰν δὲ ἐντὸς τοῦ χ [ρ ]όνου αὐτὸν ἀπαρτίσῃς , if you make him (the pupil) perfect within the period, in a contract of apprenticeship, and ib. X. 1278 .28 (A.D. 214) ἐντὸς τοῦ προκειμένου αὐτοῦ χρόνου , and of place in P Ryl II. 161 .8 (A.D. 71) ἐντὸς περιβό [λου ἱε ]ροῦ θεοῦ Σοκνοπαίου , ib. 157 .7 (A.D. 135) ἐντὸς τείχους τοῦ κτήματος and P Oxy VIII. 1128 .14 (A.D. 173) τὸ συμπόσιον καὶ τὴν ἐντὸς αὐτοῦ κέλλαν , a dining-room and the storechamber within it : see also the famous temple inscr. cited s.v. ἀλλογενής . In P Oxy X. 1274 .18 (iii/A.D.) a minor is described ἔτι ὄντος ἐντὸς τοῦ Λαιτωρίου νόμου , being still subject to the Laetorian law a law protecting persons under the age of twenty-five from fraud : see the editors note, where reference is made to BGU II. 378 .21 (ii/iii A.D.) and 611 i. 6 (i/A.D.). In the medical receipt P Oxy VIII. 1088 .33 (early i/A.D.) the remedy to stop nose-bleeding is μάνναν φύρασον χυλῶι πράσωι καὶ ἐνάλιψον τὸν χυλὸν ἐνδόθεν , mix frankincense with onion-juice and apply the juice inside (Ed.).
