Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἄκρος. P Tebt II. 38017 (i/A.p.) οὐλὴ ὀφρύει δεξίᾳ ἄκρᾳ, ‘oa scar at the tip of the right eyebrow,” P Oxy I. 43 (verso) 1. 11 (iii/A.D) ἐπ᾽ ἄκρῳ ῥύμης Σεύθου. In P Oxy I. τοϑί- 8 (a.p. 183 or 215), the meat bill of a cook, ἄκρα B are translated by the editors ‘‘ two trotters.” Cf. Pretsighe 3585 (iii/B.c.) τὸ ἄκρον τῆς σκιᾶς, of the shadows ona sundial, and Sy// 804° (?ii/A.D.) κιτρίου προλαμβάνειν (= ‘‘eat,” see s.v.) τὰ ἄκρα : 20. 42579 (ili/B.c.) κατὰ τῶν ἄκρων, ‘‘down the heights” (as often). Axdvhas. Thayer's doubts regarding the existence ot the genitive of this proper name may be set at rest by its occurrence in the papyri, where it is found in two forms—AktdAov (BGU II. 4848, A.D. 201-2) and ᾿Ακύλα (26. I. 71%, a.p. 189, P Strass 229, iii/A.p., Σουβατιανοῦ *A.). Much earlier is Talov ᾿Ιουλίου ᾿Ακύλα, on the inscr. of Augustus in Pretsigke 401, A.D. 10-1. See Deissmann &S, p. 187, where the doubling of the A in certain manuscripts of Ac 183 and Rom 168 is further illustrated by the occurrence of both ᾿Ακύλας and ᾿Ακύλλας in duplicate documents of the end of ii/A.p. with reference to the veteran C. Longinus Aquila (BGU I. 326). An Aquila of Pontus occurs on an inscription of Sinope, Φλ]αμιν[(1ου ᾿Ακύλα, as noted by D. M. Robinson in the Prosopographia to his monograph on Sinope, Am. Journ. of Philology xxvii. Ρ- 269 (1906).
