Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἤρεμος. The Pauline phrase in 1 Tim 2? finds a striking parallel in OGIS 519° (c. A.D. 245) ἤρεμον kal γαληνὸν τὸν βίον δια[yévrwy. Lest Paul should be credited with a literary word we may cite the use of the verb in BGU IV. rorg? (mid. /A.D.) σω]φροσύνῃ [t]k[a]vov xpdvo[v] ἠρεμήσας μετῆλθεν. “Ἡρῴδης is to be written with an iota subscript in view of its derivation—Hpw-(8ns (Blass ad Ac 437. The full form is seen in P Petr IIT. 32(e)* “Aptotoxplrar οἰκονόϊμωι παρὰ] ‘Hpwtδου τοῦ ἐξειληφότος τὴν] ζυτηρὰν (““ beer-tax”) ᾿Απίαδος κτλ. ; but cf. Ἡρώδης with reference to a ship-master in P Lille I. 23° (B.c. 221) and a weaver in BGU I. 1158 (ii/a.p.). From Cos comes an inscr. in honour of Ilerod Antipas— Cos 75 (= OGIS 416) Ἡρώδην Ἡρώδου τοῦ βασίλεως υἱόν, τετράρχην, Φίλων ᾿Αγλαοῦ φύσει δὲ Nikwvos τὸν αὑτοῦ ξένον καὶ φίλον. (ii/A.D.) ἀπ[ηλιώτου “Ηρω]διαίνης. The original sense of “protector ’’ underlying ἥρως appears in Lat. servdre “preserve intact’’: cf. "HpFa, ‘‘protectress.’’ That ἥρως became simply “the dead ’’ is well seen in the testamentary disposition of Epicteta, AZ%che/ 1001 (c. Β 6. 200).
