Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἡμέτερος. For the ordinary use of 4p. with a subst. cf. P Tebt I. 2751 (B.C. 113) κατὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν πρόθεσιν, 16. IT. 3264 (c. A.D. 266) 6 yap ἡμέτερος ἀνὴρ. . ἀδιάθετος ἐτελεύτα τὸν βίον, ‘*for my husband died intestate,” P Oxy VII. 1056° (A.D. 360) τῷ ἡμετέρῳ ὀνόματι, “on my account.” In P Flor III. 3092! (iv/A.D.) Hp. is used interchangeably with μου--τῇ ἡμετέρᾳ [συμ]βίῳ καὶ τῇ παρθένῳ μου θυγατρί. A letter of introduction, P Oxy IV. 787 (A.D. 16), τὰηϑβ -- ὡς ἔστιν ἡμέτερος (cf. Tit 314). ἐρωτῶ σε οὖν ἔχειν αὐτὸν συνεσταμévov κτὰ. In P Oxy I. 37:28 (Α.}Ὁ.. 49) (-ΞΞ Selections, p. 50) εἰς τὴν τοῦ ἡμετέρου [o]ixlay = “into the house of our client,” and in P Ryl II. 11428 (c. A.D. 280) we have τὰ ἡμέτερα = “my property,” cf. Lk 161%. A good parallel to the use of οἱ ἡμέτεροι in Tit 315 is afforded by Crest. I. 167 (time of Trajan) where the writer complains that in a Jewish uprising οἱ ἡμέ[τ]ερο[.] ἡττ[ἤ͵θησαν.
