Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἁλιεύς. The word is too common in itself to need illustrating, unless we recorded the appearance of the epithet ποτάμιος to indicate a fisherman who exercised his calling on the Nile. It is, however, a good example of the rule by which in Hellenistic of the second period (ἡ e. A.D.) two z-sounds are not allowed to come together: see Pro/eg.* p. 44 f. In this one case, in the nom. and accus. pl. of ἁλιεύς, dissimilation instead of contraction has taken place: aAeets occurs in NT and in P Flor I. 127} (a.p. 256), but note 119? aAt[ets and 275°, from the same correspondence, and BGU IV. 1035° (v/a.D.). Of course P Petr III. 59ii-§ belongs to a period when the phonetic difficulty was not felt. Another expedient was ἁλιέας, P Flor II. 2018 (iii/A.p.). T1ellenistic does not follow the Attic contractions (Awpias, -@v): cf. ἁλιέων BGU III. 756% (aA.p. 199), ᾿Εἰριέως P Petr IIL. 59 (a). We find ἁλιείων in P Amh II. 30% (ii/B.c.).
