εὐπρέπεια [page 264]
The idea of majesty, stateliness, which Hort ( James , p. 17) finds in the OT use of this word and in Jas_1:11 , its only occurrence in the NT, comes out well in Syll 932 .17 (iii/A.D. init. ) ο [ἱ κ ]ύ [ρι ]οι ἡμῶν μέγιστοι καὶ θειότατοι αὐτοκράτορες διὰ παντός τε τοῦ ἑαυτῶν αἰῶνος βουληθέντες ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ εὐπρεπείᾳ διαμεῖναι τὴν αὑτῶν ἐπαρχείαν , προσέταξαν κτλ . Ἀπρέπια is read by the editor in P Iand 11 .8 (iii/A.D.). In MGr εὐπρεπής has given place to πρεπός , proper, becoming : similarly ἄπρεπος (Thumb Handbook § 115).
