Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐπίγειος. In striking resemblance to Phil 219 is the use of this word in the magic P Par 574°°4 (iii/A.D.) (= Deissmann LAE, p. 252 [) καὶ σὺ λάλησον ὁποῖον ἐὰν ἧς ἐπεουράνιον ἢ ἀέριον εἴτε ἐπίγειον εἴτε ὑπόγειον ἢ καταχθόνιον κτλ. The passage ‘‘is ποῖ a quotation from St. Paul,” but ‘‘the papyrus and St. Paul are both using familiar Jewish categories” (26. p. 257n.24). See also P Lond 461? (iv/a.D.) (=I. p. 70) ἵνα μοι ἣν ὑπήκοος πᾶς δαίμων οὐράνιος Kal αἰθέριος καὶ ἐπίγειος καὶ ὑπόγειος KTA., and Wiinsch 12) 41} (iii/A.D.) where ἔπίγειος is found in combination with οὐράνιος and x@dyios. In P Petr II. 8(c)!° (B.c. 246) ἐπίγεια, ‘ground-floor buildings,’ are contrasted with πύργος διώρυφος, ‘a tower of two stories” (see the Editor’s note). On the form see Mayser Gr. p. 448.
