73.5 · Genuine, Phony

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
λογικὸς γὰρ ἕτερα ἀναλώματα . . . ἑαυτοῖς ἐλογισάμεθα, ἵνα μὴ τὴν πόλιν βαρῶμεν. The verb is construed with εἰς, as in Ac 1977, Rom 43, in P Fay 21° (A.D. 134) vuvel δὲ συνλήβδ[ην Tlep[t πάνήτων ὁπωσοῦν διδομένων [[. . . 1] ἢ λογιζομένων εἰς τὸ δημόσιον, “1 now give orders generally with regard to all payments actually made or credited to the government.’’ From this meaning of the verb comes the λογιστήριον, ““ finance-office” (see s.v. κατακλείω). The verb has the more general sense of ‘‘number,” ‘‘ class amongst,” as in Lk 2257, in a return of camels P Lond 3288 (A.D. 163) (=I. p. 75) πώλου ἑνὸς λογιζομένου vuvel ἐν τελείοις, ‘Sone foal being now numbered among the fullgrown (camels).’’ Cf. also BGU IV. 102817 (ii/A.p.) at δὲ λοιπί(αὶ) πρὸς ἡμίσιαν λογίζίονται), P Thead 818 (A.D. 306) διὰ τὸ τὰ προκίμενα ἐρύφιά τε καὶ αὐτὰ τέλεια λογείζ[εἐσθ]αι ἐπὶ τῷ μεμισθωμένῳ, ““ puisque les chevreaux de l’année précédente pourront étre comptés comme adultes” (Ed.), and the late P Giss I. 564 (vi/A.D.) ἐπὶ δεκαετῆ xp(dvov) λογιζόμείνον) ἀπὸ καρπῶν τῶν νῦν ὄντων ἐν ἀγροῖς. Such a passage as OG/S 66538 (A.D. 49) ἐὰν δέ τις δῶι ἢ ὡς δεδομένον λογίσηται KTA. prepares us for the meaning ‘ think,” “consider,” in 2b. 763°? (ii/B.C.) οἰκειοτάτην ἐλογιζόμην τὴν ἀνάθεσιν (τοῦ ἀνδριάντος) ἔσεσθαι ἐν ταύτηι (τῇ Μιλησίων moder): cf. P Par 635 (B.c. 164) (=P Petr III. p. 26) tls yap οὕτως ἐστιν ἀνάλητος ἢ ἀλιτρὸς ἐν τῶι λογίζεσθαι ; ‘for who is so utterly wanting in reason and the capacity for making distinctions?” (Mahaffy). On the Pauline metaphorical use of λογίζομαι see Ramsay Luke, p. 286 f., and Griffith Thomas, Axf 7 xvii. p. 211 ff. For the form λογισθείη in 2 Tim 415 see Moulton G». ii. p. 217. MGr λογιάζω, ‘consider,’ ‘think upon,’”’ λο(γ)αριάζω, “reckon,” “‘ value.” hoy tx0c. A good ex. of this adj. is afforded by a i/A.D. inscr. in honour of a certain physician—latpat Καισάρων καὶ ἰδίας λογικῆς ἐναργοῦς ἰατρικῆς κτίστηι ἐν βιβλίοις ps. (.Sy/// 73641). With Rom 12! we may compare the usage in the hermetic writings where λογικὴ θυσία is contrasted with | ceremonial offerings, cf. Reitzenstein Foémandres, p. 338° ϑέξαι λογικὰς θυσίας ἁγνὰς ἀπὸ ψυχῆς καὶ καρδίας πρός oe | ἀνατεταμένης, and 20. p. 3471, and see Lietzmann in ZN | ad ἡ. τ also Epict. iii. 1. 26 τὸ λογικὸν ἔχεις ἐξαίρετον" τοῦτο κόσμει καὶ καλλώπιζε, “thy excellence lies in the rational part: this adorn and beautify” (Sharp, p. 120). late Greek of the Pelagia legend (ed. Usener, p. 20) we have an admirable illustration of 1 Pet A bishop meets Pelagia and tells her he is ‘‘shepherd of Christ’s sheep.” She takes him literally, and he explains that he means τῶν λογικῶν προβάτων τοῦ Χριστοῦ, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων. So Peter means metaphorical, not literal, ‘‘ pure milk”: see s.v. ἄδολος. MGr λογικό, “ understanding,” ‘‘ reason” ; ἔρχομαι στὰ λο(γ)ικά μου, “1 become conscious of, learn of” (Thumb Handbook, p. 338).
