Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
μισθαποδότης. With Heb 11® we may compare the Christian P Gen I. 1427 (Byz.) (as corrected p. 36) τῷ μισ[θ]αποδότῃ bed. For the corresponding verb cf. the sepulchral inscr. from a Coptic cemetery, C/G IV. 9124° μισθαπο[δοτήσας. cf. the | means (πόρος) for discharging a public liturgy, P Oxy IV. 7248 (A.D. 155), where a slave is apprenticed to a shorthandwriter to be taught shorthand μισθοῦ τοῦ συμπεφωνημένου “at a salary agreed upon” of 120 silver drachmae, and P Fay 1038 (iii/a.D.) μ]ισθὸς τοῖς ἠρκάσι αὐτόν, “pay for the bearers” in connexion with funeral expenses. See also the temple inscr. at El-Kab /reisigke 158 ᾿Ανδρόμαχος Μακεδὼν ἀφίκετο πρὸς ᾿Αμενώθην χρηστὸν θεὸν μ[ι]σθοῦ ἐργαζόμενος καὶ ἐμαλακίσθη καὶ ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶι ἐβοήθησε αὐθημερή. The dim. μισθάριον occurs in the illiterate P Tebt II. μισταρίων ἀτῆς, ‘it wasarranged with you that these should be sent from her earnings” (Edd.). A new compd. μισθοπρασία is found in P Lond 1164 (2)© (a.D. 212) (=TIL. Ρ- 164), and is understood by the editors as denoting a sale | under the terms of a lease (cf. EEF Arch. Rep. 1907-08, Ρ- 57): for μισθαποχή in the sense of μίσθωσις see P Gen I. 70! (A.D. 381) (= Chest. I. p. 448) 4 μισθαποχὴ κυρία καὶ ἐπερωτηθεὶς ὡμολόγησα. For μισθοφόροι ἱππεῖς, “* mercenary cavalry” cf. P Grenf II. 315 (B.c. 104) (see Archiv ii. p. 155), and for the ‘‘ requisitioning ”—éml pro Popopg—of a camel to assist in transporting a porphyry pillar cf. P Lond 32819 (A.D. 163) (= II. p. 75).
