Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἰσότιμος. Field (Votes, p. 240) has shown that the emphatic idea in this word is egva/zty, and hence that in 2 Pet 11, the only place where it occurs im the NT, it means ‘‘ equal,” ‘equally privileged,” a faith which puts the readers of the letter on an equality with the Apostles. In support of this rendering we may refer to OGZS 234% (B.c. 223-187) ᾿Απόλλωνος ᾿Ισοτίμου, where the unusual epithet brings out, as the editor remarks, that this god was not of less honour than Zeus Chrysaoreus, mentioned just before, and to 20. 5448 (ii/A.D.), where a man is described as ζῶντά τε δικαmerita hominis virtutesque non minores esse honoribus quibus afficiatur” cf. also P Ryl II. 253 (B.c. 143-2) ᾿Απο[λλοδώρω]γι τῶν igfotipjay τοῖς π[ρ]ώτοις φίλοις, Chest. 1. 131° (A.D. 34-5), and for the force of compounds with ioo—such expressions as P Lond 1200! (B.c. 192 or 168) (=I. p. 3) χαλκοῦ ἰσονόμου, ‘‘copper at par,’ and P Hawara 6519 (= Archiv v. p. 382) ἀρρωστίαν ἰσοθάνατο(ν) [ἐξ]ήντλησα, “1 have endured a sickness like death.
