Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
καθάπερ [page 310]
καθάπερ is very common in the legal phrase καθάπερ ἐκ δίκης . Thus our earliest Greek marriage contract, P Eleph 1 .12 (B.C. 311 0) (= Selections, p. 3), concludes ἡ δὲ πρᾶξις ἔστω καθάπερ ἐγ δίκης , and let the right of execution be as if a formal decree of the Court had been obtained : cf. P Amh II. 46 .13 (ii/B.C.), P Fay 22 .14 (i/A.D.), ib. 91 .33 (A.D. 99), etc. Other exx. of the word are P Hib I. 49 .6 ( c. B.C. 257) ε [ἶπ ]ον δὲ αὐτῶι καθάπερ ἔγραψα [α ]ὐ̣τῶι ὅπως ἂν ἐμβάλητσι τὰς ἐλαίας εἰς βίκους , tell him that, as I wrote to him, he is to put the olives into jars (Edd.), P Eleph 121 (B.C. 223 2) καθάπερ ὤιου δεῖν , nach deinem Antrag, P Vat A .10 (B.C. 168) (= Witkowski EPP. .2 , p. 65) ἠβουλόμην δὲ καὶ σὲ παραγεγονέναι εἰς τὴν πόλ [ι ]ν , καθάπερ καὶ Κόνων καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι οἱ ἀπειλη [μμένοι ] π [ά ]ντες , ὅ [πως ] καὶ κτλ . In the decrees τὰ μὲν ἄλλα καθάπερ ὁ δεῖνα . was the usual introduction to an amendment proposed in the Ecclesia to a probouleuma, e.g. CIG 84 .6 f. Κέφαλος εἶπε· τὰ μὲν ἄλλα καθάπερ τῇ βουλεῖ· ἀναγράψαι δὲ . . . : see Roberts-Gardner , p. 18, and cf. Milligan Thess . p. 25.
