Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀκυρόω. The adjective ἄκυρος is common in legal phraseology (e.g. it comes ygzvafer in the Ptolemaic Hibeh papyri). It occurs in the new Median parchment, P Safd Khan 14-28 (B.c. 88) ὃς ἂν δὲ ἐγβάλῃ κτλ. [ἔστω ἄκυρος applied to a person, whose action is voided by illegality, a classical use. In the second parchment (B.C. 22) τήν Te ἀθβέτησιν εἶναι αὐτὴν ἄκυρον, it has its normal Hellenistic force. ᾿Ακύρωσις goes with ἀθέτησις (see 5.v.), or is used by itself, especially in the phrase els ἀκύρωσιν of a will or an I.0.U. received back to be cancelled: so P Oxy I. 1074! (A.D. 123) ἀνέλαβον παρὰ σοῦ els ἀκύρωσιν, 73. III. 400 8 (A.D. 124) πρὸς ἀκύρωσιν ἄγειν τήνδε τὴν διαθήκην, ‘to revoke this will.” The verb occurs in the same sense P Oxy III. 491° (a.. 126), 4944 (A.D. 156), 4953 (A.D. 181-9), etc.: cf. Sy// 329°° (i/B.c.) ἠκυρῶσθαι τὰς κ[α]τ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐκγραφὰς Kal ὀφειλήμ[ατα!.
