Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐπιγίνομαι is common of /ime, e.g. P Lond 4253 (B.c. 168) (=I. p- 30, Selections, p. 10) μὴ ὅτι ye τοσούτον χρόνου ἐπιγεyovoros, P Fay 111} (c. B.c. 115) τῶν τῆς ἀποδόσεως χρόνων διεληλυθότων kal ἄλλων ἐπιγεγονότων πλεόνων, “ the periods fixed for the repayment have passed, and still further periods elapsed” (Edd.). In P Oxy II. 24618 (A.D. 66) the verb is used of lambs ‘“‘born after” a first registration-—kal vi[v] ’ ΄ «πιγινώσκῶ ἀπογράφομαι τοὺς ἐπ[ιγε]γονότας εἰς τὴν ἐνεστίὥσαν] δευτέραν ἀπογραφήν : cf. P Ryl 11. 111’ (census-return—A.D. 161) ἀν]αγεγρα(μμένον) ἐν ἐπιγεγενημίένοις), OG7S πο (B.C. 237) ὑπόμνημα καταλείποντες τοῖς τε νῦν οὖσιν καὶ τοῖς ἐπιγινομένοις. See further P Par 455 (B.C. 153) εὐλαβοῦμαι τὸν ἐνδίκτην τὰ πλῖστα, τὰ (= a) πράσεις, μὴ ἐπιγέν[οι]το, where Witkowski (Epp.2, p. 85) understands ἐπιγίνομαι as = ‘‘de improviso appareo, aggredior”: cf. Ac 2818, and see Hobart, p. 290. The double compound ἐπιπαραγίνομαι is found P Petr III. 317 (B.c. 240). The subst. ἐπιγονή = “‘ offspring,” ‘‘ descendants,” as in 2 Chron 3126, is common, e.g. P Par 6318 (B.c. 164) τὴν τούτων ἐπιγονήν. See also the editors’ note in P Tebt I. p. 556ff. on the meaning of the phrase τῆς ἐπιγονῆς.
