Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀκρίβεια. P Par 63% 4 (ii/B.c.) μετὰ πάσης ἀκριβείας, τὴν ἐκτί εἼνε[σ]τάτην [ποι]ήσασθαι πρόνοιαν combines some characteristic Lucan and Pauline words. P Lond 12184! (iii/a.p.) (=I. p. 111), has ἐπ᾿ ἀκριβίας, an adverbial phrase like ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας. A rather literary document, an advocate’s speech for prosecution—suspected by the editors of being a rhetorical exercise—contains the sentence ἄμεινον δ᾽ αὗται kal cadéστερον τὴν περὶ τοῦτο ἀκρείβειαν kal τὴν ἐπιμέλειαν Μαξίμ[ο]υ δηλώσουσιν (P Oxy III. 471" *, ii/a.p.), which the editors translate, ‘‘ These letters will still better and more clearly exhibit Maximus’ exactness and care in this matter.” Near the end of the petition of Dionysia (P Oxy II. 237}. 9, A.D. 186) we have μετὰ πάσης ἀκρειβείας φυλασσέσθωσαν (sc. at ἀπογραφαῦῇ ; and in P Petr III. 36 (a) verso “8 ἢ ἃ prisoner complains to the Epimeletes that it was on account of the ‘* pinctiliousness ” of his predecessor in office that he had been confined—[a]kpiBelas ἕνεκεν ἀπήχθην. The verb ἀκριβεύειν, “to get exact instructions,” appears in P Amh 11. 1547 (vi/vii A.D.) ἐὰν μὴ ἀκριβεύσωμαι ad’ ὑμῶν περὶ ἑκάστου πράγματος : Cronert’s earliest citation for this verb is *‘ Barnabas” 215. It may be formed by association with ἀκρίβεια, by the influence of the close relation of -ea and -εύω.
