Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

εὐάρεστος. To Deissmann’s citation (B.S, p. 215) of this word from an inscr. of Nisyros (pre-Christian ?) γενόμενον εὐάρεστον πᾶσι (Mittheilungen des athen. Instituts 15, Ὁ. 134") to dispose of Cremer’s claim that it belongs only to Bibl. and eccles. Greek, we may add Priene 114° (after B.c. 84) γενηθεὶς δὲ εὐάρεσίτος] ἐν τοῖς τῆς γυμνασιαρχίας ἀναλώμασιν : cf. Rouffiac Recherches, p. 32f. See also such passages as P Fay go! (A.D. 234) Td λ[α]χανόσπίερμον) λαμβάνιν evapἐστον, P Flor I. 3039 (a.D. 362) Tas Tod πύρου εὐαρέϊστου ἀρταβά]ς, P Strass I. 1° (A.D. 510) ἐν οἴνῳ καλλίστῳ καὶ εὐαρέστῳ, and P Gen I. 15? (Byz.) τὴν τιμὴν σίτου evapέστου ἀρταβῶν τεσσάρων, where the adj. has the meaning “choice,” ‘‘in good condition.” See also s5.v. ἀρεστός.
