Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
καθότι [page 314]
For this word, which is peculiar to Luke in the NT, we may cite P Hib I. 66 .3 (B.C. 228) καθότι ὑμῖν καὶ Ἀσκληπιάδης γέγραφεν , P Amh I I . 49 .3 (B.C. 108) καθότι πρόκειται , P Tebt II. 386 .23 (B.C. 12) καθότι προγέγραπται , etc. The meaning as, just as, is seen in P Eleph 24 .8 (iii/B.C.) καθότι ἂν ἡμῖν ἐπιδείξωσιν οἱ βασιλικοὶ γραμματεῖς , P Ryl II. 154 .19 (contract of marriage A.D. 66) καθότι π̣[ρότ ]ε̣ρ̣ο̣ν̣ [συ ]νεβίουν , P Oxy XII. 1473 .16 (A.D. 201) καθότι πρὸς ἀλλήλους συνεχώρησαν , Michel 534 .28 (iii/B.C. ad init. ) καθότι ἂν δοκεῖ αὐτοῖς . For the iterative force of ἄν in this last ex. cf. Act_2:45 : practically the same phrase, though now with the subjunctive, is found in PSI IV. 415 .9 (iii/B.C.) καθ᾽ ὅ τι ἄν σου τυγχάνηι [χρ ]εία [ν ] ἔχων .
