Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐπιχορηγέω. Though the simple χορηγέω is more common, the compound verb is also well attested in the papyri: see e.g. P Oxy II. 2825 (A.D. 30-5) where a man in lodging a complaint against his wife states—é]yd μὲν οὖν ἐπεχορήγησα αὐτῇ τὰ ἑξῆς Kal ὑπὲρ δύναμιν, ““1 for my part provided for my wife in a manner that exceeded my resources ” (Edd.). The passage may perhaps be taken as illustrating the “generous” connotation underlying the corresponding subst., as in Phil 11 (see Kennedy ad /. in 5:7). Examples of the verb from marriage-contracts are BGU I. 183° (A.D. 85) ἐπιχωρη[γοῦντος “Qpov δέοντα] πάντα, P Oxy VI. 905} (A.D. 170) (= Selections, p. 86) καὶ ὃ γαμῶν ἐπι]χορηγείτω τῇ γαμουμένῃ τὰ δέοντα κατὰ δύναμιν [τοῦ βίου, CPR I, 2712 (A.D. 190) τοῦ ᾿Ισιδώρου [ἐ]πιχορηγοῦϊντος] αὐτῇ τὰ ϑέοντα, αἰ.
