Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἔξοδος. For ἔξοδος in contrast with εἴσοδος see s.v. εἴσοδος, and note further P Leid R4 where eJiodSou κ[αὶ] ἐξόδου refer to “‘income”’ and ‘‘ expenditure ’’: so Mzchel 1001%%- 44 (c, B.C. 200). Similarly ἐξοδιάζω and ἐξοδιασμός are common = ‘pay’? and ‘‘payment.’’ Cf. MGr ἔξοδα, ‘‘expenses,”’ ἐξοδεύω, Eodevw, ξοδιάζω, “‘spend.’’ In BGU IV. 1105%4 (c. B.C. 10) ἔξοδος -- ““ divorce,’’ in 24. 1. 168118 (a.p. 169) = ‘‘judicial decision,’’ and in P Oxy XII. 1417 (early iv/a.D.) apparently = ‘* voyage.’’ For the word = ‘‘death,”’ as in Lk 931, 2 Pet 115, see the Will of Abraham, Bishop of Hermonthis, about the end of vi/A.p.—P Lond 7757 (=I. p. 234, Chrest. 11. p. 372) κελεύω μετὰ τὴν ἐμὴν ἔξοδον τοῦ βίου τὴν περιστολὴν τοῦ ἐμοῦ σώματος κτλ., and cf. Epict. iv. 4. 38 ὅρα ὅτι δεῖ σε δουλεύειν ἀεὶ τῷ δυναμένῳ σοι διαπράξασθαι τὴν ἔξοδον, τῷ πάντως ἐμποδίσαι δυναμένῳ κἀκεῖνον θεραπεύειν ὡς Κακοδαίμονα : see further 2... 7) xviii. p. 237.
