Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἔτος [page 258] P Tebt II. 412 .3 (late ii/A.D.) ἄνελθε εἰς τὴν μητρόπολιν τοῦ νέου ἔτοὐ̣ , come up to the metropolis at the New Year. For κατ᾽ ἔτος , yearly, as in Luk_2:41 , cf. P Amh II. 86 .11 (A.D. 78) ἃς ( sc. δραχμὰς ) καὶ ἀπ [οδ ]ώσω κατ᾽ ἔτος ἐξενίαυτα , the yearly charge was to be paid annually, P Oxy IV. 725 .36 (a contract of apprenticeship A.D. 183) ἀργήσει δὲ ὁ παῖς εἰς λόγον ἑορτῶν κατ᾽ ἔτος ἡμέρας εἴκοσι , the boy shall have 20 holidays in the year on account of festivals (Edd.) : for καθ᾽ ἔτος see P Tebt II. 311 .25 (A.D. 134), 373 .10, .14 (A.D. 110 1), al. The aspirated form καθ᾽ ἕτος is also fairly common, e.g. P Petr III. 19( c ) .36 (B.C. 224) where the words καθ᾽ ἕτος have been added above the line, and the editor explains the form as due to false analogy with καθ᾽ ἡμέραν : see further Meyer Gr. p. 326 f., Proleg. p. 44. Καθ᾽ ἕτος is read quater in P Ryl II. 166 (A.D. 26), and ἐφ᾽ ἕτος in P Oxy X. 1299 .8 (iv/A.D.) : cf. MGr (ἐ )φέτο (ς ), this year. In P Oxy III. 477 .8 (A.D. 132 3) τὸ [π ]έμπτον ἔτ [ο ]ς Δομιτιανοῦ , in the fifth year of Domitian, we have a good ex. of the acc. denoting a point of time, as occasionally in the NT ( Joh_4:52 , Act_20:16 , Rev_3:3 ) : cf. Proleg , p. 63, CR xviii. p. 152. On the other hand, the instrumental dat. of extension of time (see Proleg. p. 75) may be illustrated by Syll 607 .28 (iii/iv A.D.) ἐβ (όησεν ) ὁ δ (ῆμος )· πολλοῖς ἔτεσι τοὺς νεωκόρους , Long live the temple-wardens, and by the iv/A.D. inscr. regarding a Lycaonian Bishop .12 εἴκοσι πέντε ὅλοις ἔτεσιν τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν . . διοι [κ ]ήσας (see Exp. VII. vi. p. 387). A new adv. ἀνετεύτως is found joined with ζῆν , to live for countless years, in an imprecatory tablet published by Wόnsch in Excavations in Palestine , edd. Bliss and Macalister 1902, p. 176, No. 35 .2 .
