1 Some persons have assumed that the distinction between ἄλλος and ἕτερος is simply a difference between what is another in a series and that which is significantly different in kind, but such a distinction cannot be confirmed from existing contexts, though there may be this type of distinction implied in GAL 1:6, GAL 1:7 in which another kind of gospel is rejected on the basis that there is no other gospel. Note, however, that both ἄλλος and ἕτερος also occur in the meaning of another, which is not the same (see 58.37). 2 Rather than treat these phrases as lexical units, one can interpret them as elliptical expressions with the omission of the dative of ἡμέρα[a] day (67.178).

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἕτερος and ἀμφότεροι are claimed by Blass (Gr pp. 36, 179f.) as the only surviving words in the Hellenistic age which denote duality as distinct from plurality, and abundant evidence can be cited from the κοινή of the correct use of ἕτερος in this sense. See e.g. P Ryl IT. 2208 (a.p. 38) ἵνα Sot σοι ὄνον. . ἵνα καὶ αὐτὸς Sot ἑτέραν (a second ass), P Amh II. 65°* (early ii/A.pD.) δίκαιον τὸν ἕτερον ἀπολυθῆναι ἐὰν ἄλλος ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ κατασταθῇ, ‘it is just that one of them (sc. two brothers) should be released, if some one else is appointed in his stead” (Edd.), BGU 1. 54-5 (a.p. 79-80) ἕτερον εἶναι ὁμώνυμο(ν), “another of the same name,’’ P Fay 1008 (A.D. 99) τῇ] μὲν Kapitlw . . [τ]ῇ δὲ ἑτέρᾳ Xapitlw, with reference to two women, both named Charition, CPR I. 118 (A.D. 108) ἑτέρας . . οἰκίας, 23. 22319 (ii/A.D.) μέχρι [ἑτέρας ἀπογραφῆς, ‘until the next (lit. ‘fanother’’) census,’ P Tebt II. 381° (a.p. 123) ἑτέρας θυγατρός, ‘her other daughter,’’ P Amh II. 889 (a.p. 128) ἐν δυσὶ κοίταις (here = σφραγῖσι, ‘‘parcels’’) . . ὧν μιᾶς piv . . ἑτέρας δὲ. ., BGU I. 1941°f (A.D. 177) ἐπιστολῶν δύο, μειᾶς μὲν. . τὴν δὲ ἑτέραν. ., P Fay 164 (ii/A.D.) ἐπὶ ὄνῳ ἑνὶ φοι(νίκων) ἀρτάβας τρεῖς καὶ ἐφ᾽ ἑτ(έρῳ). (ἀρτάβας) δύο, and similarly 26. 165. On the other hand, ἕτερος is incorrectly used for ἄλλος in such passages as P Leid BU (B.c. 164) ὑπὲρ dv ἂν προσδεώμεθα ἑτέρων, P Par 45° (B.c. 153) (= Witkowski,? p. 82) ἡ (ΞΞ εἰ) ἕτερον θέλις λέγειν, λέγε, 23. 465 (B.c. 153) (= Witkowski*, p. 86) οὐ]χ ἕτερόν τινα, ἀλλὰ σὲ αὐτὸν μάρτυρα ἐπισπάσῳ, P Fay 1214 (c. B.C. 103) ἑτέρους συμπαρόντας ὑπό τε τῶν α[ὐτῶν, ‘others besides themselves being present” (Edd.), 7d. 36% (a.D. I1I-2) ἑτέροις ἐπιχωρηθεὶς διδόναι, “ὁ with power to pass on the right (of making and selling bricks) to others” (Edd.), P Flor I. 99? (i/ii A.v.) (= Selections, p. 71) ὃ υἱὸς ἡμῶν Κάστωρ ped’ ἑτέρων ἀσωτενόμενος ἐσπάνισε τὰ αὑτοῦ πάντα, ‘‘my son Castor along with others has squandered all his own property in riotous living,’’ and BGU I. 8655 (ii/a.p.) ὑποτίθεσθαι] ἑτέροις παρασ[ζυ]νχωρούντωϊν, a formula allowing liberty to alienate. Cf. Lk 86 where even the stylist Luke substitutes ἕτερος for the correct ἄλλος of his (presumed) source-narrative (Mk 4°: cf. Mt 13°): see Proleg. p. 79. The opposite error of using ἄλλος for ἕτερος in Lk 6539 (so Mt 5359) may be paralleled from P Grenf II. 23a5F(B.C. 107) τῆς μὲν pias . . τῆς 8’ ἄλλης. -, P Tor I. S44f. (ii/B.c.) υἱῶν δύο, ἑνὸς μὲν... ἄλλου, BGU II. 45619 (A.D. 348) φοίνικας δύο, τὸν μὲν ἕνα. . καὶ τὸν Part III.
