Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
᾿Ισραηλείτης. Prof. Kirsopp Lake in his monumental edition of the Codex Sinarticus Petropolitanus (Oxford, 1911) has pointed out (p. xi.) that in eight of the nine places where Ἴσραηλe(rms occurs in the NT the Cod. Sinaiticus spells it ICAPAHAEITHC, while in the Cod. Vaticanus it appears in the form ICTPAHAEITHC. WH have used this fact to support their theory of a Western provenance for one or both of these MSS., but, as Lake goes on to show, their argument has lost its force through the discovery of the same spelling in Egypt. He cites by way of example for Ἰστραήλ the great magical P Par 574, and for Ἰσδραήλ a Jewish inscr. published in Bzl/. Soc. Alex. xi. (1909), p. 326 (= Prewsigke 617 ᾿Ισ]δραήλ) : add P Lond 4611} (iv/a.v.) (=I. p. 68) Ἰστραήλ. ἵστη μι (ἱστάνω) = “fix,” “agree upon,’’ is common in financial transactions, as in BGU IV. 113144 (8.6. 13) ἐφ᾽ ἡ ἑστάμεθᾳ τιμῇ, τό. 11. 45618 (a.p. 348) τιμῆς τῆς [ἑσ]ταμένης kal συμπεφωνημένης, P Tebt 11. 38 517 (A.D. 117) ἀπὸ τῶν ἑσταμένων . δραχμῶν τεσσαρ[ά]κ[ο͵ντα ἕξ, ‘out of the 46 dr. agreed upon,” PSI IV. 28717 (a.p. 377) μηδὲ κοιλένιν (1 κοιλαίνειν, ‘to be deficient in’) Tov σταθέντα μισθόν. In Mt 2615 the Ist aor. act. denotes actual weighing or paying, (cf. Field Votes, p. 19f.), as in 74. 4421? (iii/B.c.) ὅτε ἤμελλον στῆσαι τοὺς ἀμφιτάπους (cf. Prov 7.5), “‘ when I was about to weigh the rugs,” and the late P Iand 20? (vi/ vii A.D.) Σ]ερῆνε, στῆσον τὸ χρυσίον Ποσόμπους.
