Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

κίνδυνος. In P Petr II. 13 (19)}9 (B.c. 258-3) Kleon writes to his father begging him to come and visit him at the time of the falling of the river, καθ᾽ ὃν χρόνον οὐθείς ἐστιν κίνδυνος. Another pleasing family illustration is afforded by the letter of Dionysius to his brother Hephaestion, P Vat A (B.c. 168) (= Witkowski’, p. 64 ff.), congratulating him on the news that he had been saved 7 ἐγ μεγάλων κινδύνων, and reminding him (Hephaestion was ἐν κατοχῆι at the time in the κίχρημι OF χράω Serapeum) that every one when he has been so saved—t’f. ὁπηνίκ᾽ ἂν ἐκ κινδύνων διασωθῆι, endeavours to come quickly and greet his wife and children and friends. We may contrast the menacing letter to a creditor, P Tebt II. 424 (late ili/A.D.), which ends—7™ ὡς ἐὰ (2. ἐὰν) μὴ ἀποκαταστασίας [δ]ὴ πέμψῃς [ο]ῖδάς σου τὸ[ν] κίνδυνον, ‘so unless you now send discharges you know your danger” (Edd.). For the phrase ἰδίῳ κινδύνῳ, “at one’s own risk,” see P Lond 3564 (i/A.D) (ΞΞ 11. p. 252, Selections, p. 59), P Oxy VII. το 419 (A.D. 129), and P Ryl II. 90% (early iii/a.p.) τῶν ἡμῶν κινδύνων (/. τῷ ἡμῶν κινδύνῳ), where the superfluous ν ἐφελκυστικόν should be noted (Moulton Gy. ii. p. 113). And see P Tebt I. 10515 (B.c. 103), P Hamb I. 518 (a.p. 89) for ἀκίνδυνος παντὸς κινδύνου, ““ warranted against all risks,” a good example of the gen. of definition (Prodeg. pp. 74, 235). MGr κίντυνος, κίδυνος.
