Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀκωλύτως. The adjective occurs rarely B.c., and one citation from Plato stands in Cronert as warrant for classical antiquity. The adverb becomes very common from ii/A.D. It is of constant occurrence in legal documents, e.g. P Oxy IIT. 5024 (A.D. 164) ὡς πρόκειται ἐπὶ τὸν χρόνον ἀκωλύτως, “as aforesaid for the appointed time without hindrance” of the lease of a house, 26. VI. 912'® (A.D. 235), 2. VIII. 112716 (a.p. 183) and VII. 1036*7 (A.D. 273) : see exx. of this combination in the note to P Giss I. 4957 (p. 74). So P Lips I. 26! (beginning iv/A.D.) P Gen 1118 (A.D. 350), and the Edmonstone papyrus, P Oxy IV. p. 203 (A.D. 354), νέμεσθε εἰς ods ἐὰν βούλητε τόπους ἀκωλύτως Kal ἀνεπιλήμπτως. Add the sixth century P Lond οο115ὅ {(-- 11]. p. 258) ἀκολύτως καὶ 0 ἅλας βεβα[(ως] : the word is legal to the last. For the triumphant note on which it brings the Acts of the Apostles to a close, see Harnack Lukas der Arat p. 116, Eng. Tr. p. 163 ἢ, and cf. Milligan Documents, p. 168.
