Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀμετάθετος. In OG/S 331° (ii/B.c.) King Attalus II of Pergamon, writing to the Pergamenes, orders his rescript to be placed in the temples, ὅπως ἂν εἰς τὸν ἅπαντα χρόνον ἀκίνητα καὶ ἀμετάθετα μένηι : cf. 25. 3357 (an Aeolic inscription, ii/i B.c.) [τὰ δὲ κρίθεντα ὑ]π[ά)ρξοισι κύρια καὶ ἀμετάθετα. A letter from Sulenas Verus in Lafoscade, no. 10511 (A.D. 131) has βεβαιῶ ἐπί τε τῷ ἀσάλευτον [sc. τὴν δωρεὰν] Kal ἀμετάθετον εἰς τὸν ἀεὶ χρόνον εἶναι καὶ κτλ. P Oxy Ι. 751" (A.D. 129) ἐφ᾽ ἡ Loe. διαθήκῃ] ἀμεταθέτῳ ἀμφότεροι ἐτελεύτησαν, and zd. IIT. 4825 (A.D. 109) διαθήκῃ, ἐφ᾽ ἢ καὶ ἀμεταθέτῳ ἐτελεύτα (‘which will was unchanged at his death”’), show that the word was used as a technical term in connexion with wills. The connotation adds considerably to the force of Heb 617%.
