Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἡμέτερος [page 280] For the ordinary use of ἡμ . with a subst. cf. P Tebt I. 27 .81 (B.C. 113) κατὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν πρόθεσιν , ib. II. 326 .4 ( c. A.D. 266) ὁ γὰρ ἡμέτερος ἀνὴρ . . ἀδιάθετος ἐτελεύτα τὸν βίον , for my husband died intestate, P Oxy VII. 1056 .3 (A.D. 360) τῷ ἡμετέρῳ ὀνόματι , on my account. In P Flor III. 309 .2 f (iv/A.D.) ἡμ . is used interchangeably with μου τῇ ἡμετέρᾳ [συμ ]βίῳ κ̣αὶ τῇ παρθένῳ μου θυγατρί . A letter of introduction, P Oxy IV. 787 (A.D. 16), runs ὡς ἔστιν ἡμέτερος (cf. Tit_3:14 ). ἐρωτῶ σε οὖν ἔχειν αὐτὸν συνεσταμένον κτλ . In P Oxy I. 37 i .16. (A.D. 49) (= Selections , p. 50) εἰς τὴν τοῦ ἡμετέρου [ο ]ἰκίαν = into the house of our client, and in P Ryl II. 114 .18 ( c. A.D. 280) we have τὰ ἡμέτερα = my property, cf. Luk_16:12 . A good parallel to the use of οἱ ἡμέτεροι in Tit_3:14 is afforded by Chrest. I. 16 .7 (time of Trajan) where the writer complains that in a Jewish uprising οἱ ἡμέ [τ ]ερο [ι ] ἡττ [ή ]θησαν .
