Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ὄγδοος, originally ὄγδοος, does not contract in any of its NT occurrences, and this is the general rule in the papyri and inscriptions, e.g. P Grenf I. rot (B.c. 174) ἔτους ὀγδόου, OGTS 9039 (Rosetta stone—B.C. 196) ἕως τοῦ ὀγδόου ἔτους. Cf. however P Eud 419 (before B.c. 165) ὄγδουν beside ὀγδόης, and 20. 143 ὄγδου (cited in Mayser G7. p. 294), and see also OGIS 33214 (B.c. 138-2) τὴν δὲ ὀγδόην, of the eighth day of the month.
