Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἴδιος [page 298] For an exhausted ἴδιος in Hellenistic Greek, equivalent to little more than the possessive pronoun, Kuhring (p. 13) cites such passages as BGU IV. 1061 .21 (B.C. 14) ἐν τῶι ἰδίωι αὐτοῦ κλήρωι , P Oxy III. 483 .25 (A.D. 108) ὀ ]μνύω . . εἶναι τὰς προκ [ειμ ]ένας ἀρούρας εἰδίας μου , ib. 494 .33 (A.D. 156) ἐγνώρισα τὴν ἰδίαν μου σφραγῖδα , ib. 495 .15 (A.D. 181 9) γράψω τῇ ἰδιᾳ μου χειρί , BGU III.865 .2 (ii/A.D.) ἀκολούθω [ς τῇ ἰδ ]ίᾳ σοι ( l. σου ) ἐπιστολῇ , ib. I. 13 .15 (A.D. 289) ἐκδικήσωμεν . . τοῖς ἰδίοις ἑαυτῶν δαπανήμασιν , P Grenf II. 8o .14 (A.D. 402) ὑπὲρ ἰδιας σου κεφαλῆς . It will hardly be denied, however, that in all these passages ἴδιος adds a certain emphasis, and this undoubtedly holds good of the general NT usage, as e.g. Joh_1:41 , 1Co_3:8 , Gal_6:5 : Heb_7:27 , etc. : see more particularly Proleg. p. 87 ff. (as against Deissmann BS p. 123 f.), and cf. Souter ( Lex. s.v. ) where the word is rendered one s own, belonging to one, private, personal, without any mention of a weaker meaning. WinerSchrniedel Gr , § 22, 17, on the other hand, claims for the word both senses in the NT, and illustrates these in detail. It is probably impossible to draw the line strictly, so much depends on the special nuance of the context. Thus in the interesting papyrus in which proceedings are instituted for the recovery of a foundling child that had been put out to nurse, the defendant asserts that the foundling had died, and that the child now claimed was her own child τὸ ] ἴ [δι ]όν μου τέκνον (P Oxy I. 37 ii. 1 A.D.49) (= Selections , p. 51). But when in P Goodsp Cairo 4 .8 (ii/B.C.) (= Selections , p. 25) Polycrartes writes to a friend introducing one Glaucias α̣̣πεσ̣τάλ̣καμεν πρὸς σὲ Γλαυκίαν , ὄντα ἡμῶν ἴδιον , κοινολογησόμενόν σοι , the meaning can be little more than who is one of ourselves : cf. P Par 41 .11 (B.C. 158) οὗ <ἐν > κατοχῇ ἰμὶ μετὰ τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου ἀδελφοῦ ἰδίου (= ἐμοῦ ) Πτολεμαίου , P Tor I, 8 .27 (B.C.119) εἰς τὰς ἰδίας αὐτῶν (= εἰς τὰς ἑαυτῶν ) μετοικισθῆναι (both cited by Mayser Gr. p. 308). This last ex. illustrates the absolute use of ὁ ἴδιος as in Joh_1:11 ; Joh_13:1 , etc. : cf. also P Oxy XIV. 1680 .5 (iii/iv A.D.), where a son prays for his father ὑγιαίνοντί ( l. τά ) σε ἀπολαβεῖν ἐν τοῖς ἰδίοις that we may receive you home in good health (Edd.). On the principle of the ἰδία , involving a man s personal attachment to the house and soil of his birth, see Zulueta in Vinogradoff s Oxford Studies in Social and Legal History i. (1909), p. 42 ff., and cf. Exp VIII. iv. p. 487 ff., where Ramsay applies this principle in connexion with Luk_2:3 . In Proleg. p. 90 f. special attention is drawn to the use of ὁ ἴδιος in addressing near relations at the beginning of a letter. Thus in P Fay 110 .2 (A.D. 94) Gemellus sends greeting Ἐπαγαθῶι τῶι ἰδίωι , Epagathus being probably a nephew, and similarly in other letters of the same correspondence : when the son Sabinus is addressed, the words τῷ οιεἱῶι (= τῷ υἱῷ ) are always used, as ib. 113 .2 (A.D.100). If this were at all a normal use of ὁ ἴδιος it might add something to the case for translating Act_20:28 τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ ἰδίου , the blood of one who was His own (Weiss, etc.). For the adv. ἰδίᾳ (for form cf, Moulton Gr. ii. p. 84) = privately, see PSI IV. 434 .12 (B.C. 261&nd;0) ἰδίαι συμφωνήσας πρὸς αὐτούς , and cf. Michel 392 .7 (ii/B.C.) καὶ κοινει τει πόλ [ει ] καὶ καθ᾽ ἰδίαν τοῖς ἐντυγχάνουσ [ιν ] αὐτῶι . The phrase ἐκ τοῦ ἰδίου , at one s own expense, is found in BGU IV. 1118 .31 (B.C. 22), and similarly ἐξ ἰδίων in ib. 1209 .11 (B.C. 23). Brugmann derives from *ϝιδιος : cf. skr. vi , en sιparant (Boisacq, p. 221). The adj. therefore implies sequestrated from the common stock. MGr ἴδιος and γίδιος : ὁ ἴδιος , the same, self cf ἰδιότητα , identity.
