Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
εὐπρέπεια. The idea of “" majesty, stateliness,” which Hort (James, p- 17) finds in the OT use of this word and in Jas 174, its only occurrence in the NT, comes out well in Sy? 93217 (ili/A.D. γι.) oft κ]ύ[ρι]οι ἡμῶν μέγιστοι καὶ θειότατοι αὐτοκράτορες διὰ παντός τε τοῦ ἑαυτῶν αἰῶνος βουληθέντες ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ εὐπρεπείᾳ διαμεῖναι τὴν αὑτῶν ἐπαρχείαν, προσἔταξαν κτὰ. ᾿Απρέπια is read by the editor in P Iand 118 (iii/A.D.). In MGr εὐπρεπής has given place to πρεπός, “proper,” ‘‘becoming” :; similarly ἄπρεπος (Thumb Handbook § 115). 3) 66
