Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
μέτοχος. This adj. in the sense of ‘‘sharer,” ‘‘ partner,” as in Lk 57 (cf. Heb 324), is common in papyri: cf. e.g. P Petr IIL 37 (a)%-7 (B.c. 259) διὰ Πασῖτος kal τῶν petoxov, BGU IV. 11234 (time of Augustus) ὁμολογοῦμεν εἶναι τοὺς τρεῖς peltd]xous kal κοινωνοὺς kal κυρίους ἕκαστον κατὰ τὸ τρίτον μέρος ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν εἰς τὸν ἀεὶ χρόνον τῆς προκειμένης μισθώσείως. .., P Ryl II. 189! (ap. 128) Διονύσιος Σωκράτους καὶ οἱ μέτοχοι παραληπταὶ δημοσίο(υ) ipaτισμοῦ κουστωδιῶν παραειλ(ήφαμεν) (1. παρειλ--) KTA., “ we, Dionysius son of Socrates and the associate collectors of public clothing for the guards, have received etc.” (Edd.), 276. 192° (A.D. 142) διέγρα(ψε) Σωτᾷ καὶ μετόχί(οις) πράκ(τορσιν) ἀρ[γ]υρικ(ῶν), ‘‘ paid to Sotas and associates, collectors of money-taxes,” and Zheb Ostr 414 (A.D. 64-5) ἹΠικῶς ΤΤαμώνθ(ου) καὶ μέτοχοι Σενφαήριος xai(petv), “Pikos son of Pamonthes and his colleagues to Senphaeris, greeting ”—receipt for a salt-tax. In P Leid F* (ii/B.c.) (=I. p. 34) ᾿Αλέξανδρος καὶ of μέτοχοι, οἱ πραγμαί τ]ευόμενοι τὸ [ὠ]νητρικὸν (4. ὠνητικὸν) κα[ὶ τὸ] ἐπιδέκατον ἀπὸ tov . . ., the editor defines μέτοχοι as those who soczeta‘em tnierant ad cerla quaedam tributa redimenda et exigenda, or, according to Reuvensius, ‘‘co-intéressés”: in P Lips I. 106" (A.D. 98) ἐὰν οὖν ὅ ye γνώστης σὺν τῷ μετόχῳ ἀσφαλίζηταί σε διὰ τοῦ γράμματεος (/. γράμματος) τῶν γεωργῶί(ν), the reference may be either to a second “‘cognitor,’’ or to the joint-owner of a holding, whose price is under discussion. For μέτοχος c. gen., as in Heb 34, cf. A@zbe/ 6545 (iii/A.D.) πρόσθεν μὲν θνητή, νῦν δὲ θεῶν μέτοχος. The form μετοχικός is seen in P Strass II. 116° (c. a.p. 18) μέρος καὶ ἔχειν μετοχεικ[ὸν . . .
