θεός [page 287] For the application of the title θεός to the Ptolemaic kings it is sufficient to recall Brit. Mus. Inscrr . IV. 1 No. 906 .3 (B.C. 284 273) where a votive offering is dedicated in honour of Πτολεμαίον τοῦ σωτῆρος καὶ θεοῦ , and the description of Ptolemy V. (Epiphanes) on the Rosetta stone OGIS 90 .10 (B.C. 196) ὑπάρχων θεὸς ἐκ θεοῦ καὶ θεᾶς : cf. Deissmann LAE , p. 348 and the full discussion by E. Kornemann Zur Geschichte der antiken Herrscherkulte in Beitrδge zur alten Geschichte [Klio] i., p. 51 ff. (Leipzig, 1902). The same practice is still more strikingly illustrated in the Imperial period, as when in an inscr. from the Fayϋm district, dated March 17th, B.C. 24, Augustus is described as θεὸς ἐκ θεοῦ ( OGIS 655 .2 ), or as when a votive inscr. is addressed to Nero ἀγαθῶ (ι ) θεῶ (ι ) ( Cos 92 .7 ) : see Deissmann ut s. p. 349. With this may be compared the frequent use for Augustus of the title υἱὸς θεοῦ , corresponding to the divi filius of the Latin inscrr., e.g. BGU I. 174 .1 (A.D . 7) ἔτους ἕ [κ ]του καὶ τριακοστοῦ [τῆς ] Καίσαρος κρατήσεως θεοῦ υἱ [ὸ ]ν ( l. υἱοῦ ), and, interesting as coming from the Emperor himself, the letter, IMAe III. 174 (A.D. 5), which begins Καῖσαρ θεοῦ υἱὸς Σεβαστός . Other examples will be found in Deissmann BS , p. 166 f., LAE , p. 350 f., where the bearing of this usage upon the early Christian title of Christ is discussed : cf. also Harnack History of Dogma i. p. 118 ff. Mention should also be made of the Imperial oath, in which, following Ptolemaic practice, the person of the Emperor is directly invoked. A very early example is BGU II. 543 .1 (B.C. 27) ὄμνυμι Καίσαρα Αὐτοκράτορα θεοῦ υἱόν : cf. Chrest. I. III .2 (A.D. 6) ὄμνυ̣[μι ] [Καίσαρα ] Αὐτοκράτορα θεοῦ ν [ἱὸν ] Δία Ἐλευθέριον [Σεβαστόν ] with Wilcken s important note. It gives one a thrill to find the very combination of Joh_20:28 applied in BGU IV. 1197 .1 (B.C. 4) to Asclepiades, apparently a high official τῷ θεῶι καὶ κυρίωι : the same designation recurs in ib. 1201 .1 (A.D. 2) with reference to a priest, but the editor knows of no other exx. of this use of θεός . From pagan letters we may cite a few instances of constantly recurring expressions P Hib I. 79 .6 ( c. B.C. 260) τοῖς θεοῖς πολλὴ χά [ρι ]ς , P Giss I. 17 .6 (time of Hadrian) (= Chrest. I. p. 566 ) χάρις τοῖς θεοῖς πᾶσι ὅτι σε διαφυλάσσουσι ἀπρόσκοπον , P Lond 42 .3 (B.C. 168) (= I. p. 30, Selections , p. 9) ὡς τοῖς θεοῖς εὐχομένη διατελῶ , BGU I. 248 .11 (ii/A.D.) θεῶν δὲ βουλομένων , ib. I. 27 .11 (ii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 101) ὡς ὁ θεὸς ἤθελεν , ib. II. 451 .10 (i/ii A.D.) θεῶν ἐπιτρεπόν [τ ]ων , and P Oxy VI. 935 .3 (iii/A.D.) θεῶν συνλαμβανόντων , Cf. .10 συνλαμβ [ά ]νο [υσι ] γὰρ ἡμεῖν ἀεὶ ο [ἱ ] π [άτ ]ριοι θεοὶ ἡμῶν δ̣[ιδό ]ντες ἡμεῖν ὑγία [ν καὶ ] σω [τ ]ηρίαν . With this last may be compared the soldier s letter to his sister, BGU II. 632 .6 (ii/A.D.), in which he assures her that he is μνι̣αν σου ποιούμενος (cf. Rom_1:9 al. ) παρὰ τοῖς [ἐν ]θάδε θεοῖς , showing that for the time being he has transferred his allegiance to the gods of the place where he is garrisoned (cf. Deissmann LAE , p. 173). For prepositional phrases see P Petr II. 13(19) .7 (mid. iii/ B.C.) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 19) καὶ ζῶντός σου καὶ εἰς θεοὺς ἀπελθόντος , P Tebt I. 58 recto .35 (B.C. III) σὺν τοῖς θεοῖς , by the grace of the gods, P Ryl II. 243 .8 (ii/A.D.) ἐλπίζοντες σὺν θεῷ τὸ πεδείον σπαρῆναι , hoping that with God s help the field will be sown, where, as the editors point out, the use of θεῷ alone does not imply that the writer was a Christian (cf. Archiv i. p. 436), and, for an undoubtedly Christian ex., the letter of the presbyter Psenosiris, P Grenf II. 73 .16 (late iii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 118) ὅταν ἔλθῃ σὺν Θεῷ , with the corresponding use of ἐν Θ (ε )ῷ in .6 . In P Iand 11 .2 (iii/A.D.) ἐλπίδω γὰρ εἰς θεόν , the writer may well be a Christian (or a Jew), cf. Act_24:15 , 1Pe_3:5 ; and the same may perhaps be said regarding BGU I. 246 .13 (ii/iii A.D.) νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας ἐντυνχάνω τῷ θεᾦ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν , cf. 1Th_3:10 . A iv/A.D. letter of a Christian servant to his master, which abounds in echoes of NT language, has ὡς ἐν ἄλ ]λ̣οις πλείστοις νῦν ἔτι μᾶλλον ἡ πρὸς σὲ [τοῦ δεσπό ]τ̣ον θεοῦ γνῶσις ἀνεφάνη (cf. Luk_19:11 ἅπασιν ἡμῖν , as on many other occasions so now still more plainly the favour of the Lord God towards you has been revealed to all of us (P Oxy VI. 939 .4 = Selections , p. 128) : cf. also P Oxy I. 120 .16 (iv/ A.D.) μὴ ἆρα παρέλκομαι ἢ καὶ εἴργομαι ἔστ᾽ ἂν ὁ θεὸς ἡμᾶς αἰλαιήσῃ ( l. ἐλεήσῃ ), am I to be distracted and oppressed until Heaven takes pity on me? For the voc. θεἑ , which is found in Mat_27:46 , cf. the magical P Lond 121 .529 (iii/ A.D.) (= I. p. 101) κύριε θεὲ μέγιστε , which is reinforced by a Pisidian inscr., unfortunately undated, JHS 1902, p. 355, θέ .
