Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
εὐχάριστος is applied to the ‘beneficent’ gods in P Par 2915 (B.C. 161-9) δι ὑμᾶς τοὺς εὐχαρίστους θεούς, and in P Lond 879" (B.c. 123) (=III. p. 7) is an epithet of Ptolemy Euergetes IIl.—IItoepatov θεοῦ HEvepyérou καὶ Σωτῆρος ἑαυτῶν Evxaplorov: similarly of Ptolemy V. in OG/S 905 (the Rosetta stone—B.c, 196), where see the editor’s note. Like the subst., it is very common in the inscrr. to denote the ‘‘gratitude” of the people to their benefactors, as Priene 103° (c. B.C. 100) γεν]όμενος ὁ δῆμος εὐχάριστος. The way was thus prepared for the Christian use as in Col 3%: see further s.v, εὐχαριστία.
