Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κεντυρίων use of κενός applied to men as in Jas 255, in the sense of ‘*pretentious,’’ ‘‘hollow,”’ Hort (ad 4) compares Epict. ii. 19. 8 ἀλλ᾽ ἂν ὦ κενός, μάλιστα ἐπὶ συμποσίῳ, καταπλήσσομαι τοὺς παρόντας ἐξαριθμούμενος τοὺς γεγραφότας, ““ but if Iam κενός, especially at a banquet, I astonish the visitors by enumerating the writers (on a particular subject),” and ὁ. iv. 4. 35 κενόν, ἐφ᾽ ois ov Set ἐπαιρόμενον. For the phrase εἰς κενόν, which in the NT is used only by Paul, cf. P Petr 11. 37 τό recto? (iii/B.c.) ἵνα μὴ. τοῦ ὕδατος ἀφεθέντος διὰ τοῦ σωλῆνος (““ pipe”’) εἰς κενὸν φέρηται, of water running to waste, Ava/bel 64610 (iii/iv A.D.) is κενὸν ἣ δαπάνη : for διὰ κενῆς cf. P Hib I. 66° (B.c. 228) ὥστε σε μὴ διὰ κενῆς εὐχαριστῆσαι ἡμ[ῖν, “‘so that you shall not oblige me to no purpose” (Edd.), and, as one word, PSI IV. 434° (B.C. 261-0) οὐκ ἂν νῦν διακενῆς ἐφλυάρει : and for κατὰ κενόν cf. P Tor I. r'v-35 (B.c. 116) mponvéykato τὸν “Epplav κατὰ κενὸν περιεσπακέναι.
