Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀμφιέννυμι. The full form in Mt 689 is a survival of the literary language, and must have been nearly obsolete even in cultivated colloquial. It is clear therefore that Luke (1238) represents Q, whether we read ἀμφιάζει with B or -ἔζει with the rest : as elsewhere (cf. Cambridge Biblical Essays, p. 485 f.), Luke faithfully preserves a vernacular form which he would not have used in his own writing. For the form with a cf. Vettius Valens p. 64° (ἀμφιάσαι), and OG/S 20074 (Aethiopia, iv/A.D.) ἀμφιάσαντες : Blass (Ktihner Grarm.* ii. p. 366) quotes several instances from post-classical literature, including Plutarch (ἀπημφίαζε) and even Lucian (μεταμφιάσομαι). So ἠμφιασμένον Mt τι D. The classical aorist appears in Sy// 197*4 (iii/B.c ) ἀμφιέσας. The back-formation ἀμφιέζω is an obvious first step towards ἀμφιάζω, which shows the influence of the large class of τάζω verbs (so W. Schmid af. Schweizer Pevg., p. 37). But though ε forms are predominantly attested in NT (with significant revolts on the part of B and D—see above), it seems doubtful whether ἀμφιέζω can be confidently claimed for the Κ οινή, unless as a local survival. A grammarian in Cramer Anecd. Ox. 11. 338 says τὸ μὲν ἀμφιέζω ἐστὶ κοινῶς, τὸ δὲ ἀμφιάζω δωρικόν, ὥσπερ τὸ ὑποπιέζω καὶ ὑποπιάζω.
