Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐπίλοιπος. With ἐς in 1 Pet 4? cf. P Petr ΤΠ 13 (19)4 (c. B.c. 252) (= Witkowski*, p. 18) σοῦ προστατῆσα[ι τὸν] ἐ[π͵ΐλοιπον βίον, ‘‘to take care of you for the rest of your life.” In P | Ryl II. 154% (A.p. 66) provision is made that in the event | Part III. προσηκούσης ἐπιμελείας τεύξονται, ‘‘the estates of the treasury will receive proper attention” (Edd.). Note also the common usage in such an address as P Oxy II. 281° (A.D. 20-50) Ἡρακλείδηι ἱερεῖ kal ἀρχιδικαστῆι Kal πρὸς τῇ ἐπιμελείᾳ τῶν χρηματιστῶν, ‘‘to H., priest, chief justice, superintendent of the chrematistae.’’ In the Christian letter, | P Oxy XII. 1493}° (iii/iv a.D.) we have—rtoirov οὖν τὴν ἐπιμέλειαν ποιήσω ὡς ἰδίου υἱοῦ, ‘I shall take care of him as if he were my own son” (Edd.). On the ‘‘excellent Greek phrase” ἐπιμελείας τυχεῖν, “to receive attention” (RV mg. in Ac 273) cf. the citations from Wetstein in Field Wo/es, p- 143, and see further Hobart pp. 29, 269f. where it is shown that both the noun and the corresponding verb are ’ , > ΄ ἐπιμελεομαι, ἐπιμελομαι common in medical language for the ‘‘care ’’ bestowed upon the sick, a meaning which may underlie its usage here. In the inscrr. the phrase τὴν ἐπιμέλειαν ποιησαμένων 15 very common with reference to the persons charged with putting up the inscr. : see Rouffiac Recherches, p. 56. ᾿Ἐπιμελητής is the regular term for a ‘‘curator’’ or “supervisor.” Thus we hear of émpeAntal ἀννώνης, ἀχυροῦ, βαλανείου, γυμνασίου, ἱεροῦ, etc. : for citations see Hohlwein L’Zgypte Romaine, p. 232 ff. ἐπιμελέομαι. ἐπιμέλομαι. For the constr. with the gen., as in Lk 10%f, 1 Tim 35, cf. P Petr IT. 11 (1)8 (ili/B.c.) (= Selections, p. 8) ἔπιμέλου δὲ καὶ σαυτοῦ, ‘‘take care also of yourself,” P Lond 4255 (B.c. 168) (=I. p. 31, Selections, p. 11) χαριεῖ δὲ kal τοῦ σώμαTos ἐπιμε[λό]μενος, ty’ ὑγιαίνηις, BGU IV. 1078" (a.b. 39) τὰ 8 ἄλλα éemripeda(—et)obe ἁτῶν (— ὑμῶν αὐτῶν), P Oxy VIII. 11544 (late i/A.D.) ἐπιμελοῦ σεαυτῆς ἵνα μοι ὑγιαίνῃς, “take care of yourself so that I may have you well ”’ (Ed.). The verb is construed with the dat. in P Tebt I. 58% (8.6. 111) ἐπειμένου (1 ἐπιμέλου) τοῖς ἐν οἴκωι, P Oxy IV. 744° (B.c. 1) (= Selections, p. 32) παρακαλῶ σε ἐπιμελήθι (/. -ἤθητι) τῷ παιδίῳ. From the inscrr. we may cite Cagnzat IV. 6844 (A.D. 88-0) ἐπιμελησαμένου Ἡρακλείτου with reference to the undertaking to set up a χαριστήριον, and 70. 68515 ἐπιἸ]μεληθέντος in the same sense.
