Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀλληλούϊα ἐπ[α]γ αἹγέφθαν ἀλλὰ ᾿Απολλωνίαν, “any other wife but A.” (Edd.), shows the same use for ἀλλά alone. See Proleg.* p. 241 (with some additional remarks in the German ed., p. 269). G. C. Richards (/7S x. p. 288) observes on the note in Prodeg., ““In Mk 433 ἐὰν μή and ἀλλά are parallel, a usage which Aramaic explains but Greek does not.” (Cf. the variants in Mk 98.) Without doubting that an Aramaic background makes the usage all the easier, we can assert that Hellenistic Greek does admit this use of ἀλλά. For ἀλλὰ μήν (not in NT) cf. P Oxy III. 47297 (¢ A.D. 130) & phy. vtev πίστεως περὶ τούτων οὔσης, P Flor I. 89! (iii/A.D.) @. μ. Kal πρὸς τὴν παρακομι[δὴν τ]ούτων [π͵]λοῖον παρασχεῖν σπούδασον. It is hardly necessary to illustrate the conjunction further.
