Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὅμοιος. For ὅμοιος as denoting the same rank or station cf. P Oxy I. 124? (iii/A.D.) “A8Spactos .. . γήμας ἐκ τῶν ὁμοίων ἔσχεν θυγατέρας δύο, “ Adrastus married one of his own rank and had two daughters” (Edd.), and the apophthegm in PSI J. 120%8 (iv/a.pD.?) γάμει ἐκ τῶν ὁμοίων" οἱ μὲν yap ἐκ τῶν κρεισσόνων γαμοῦντες δεσπότας κοὐκ οἰκείους κτῶνται. In P Ryl II. 1057° (a.p. 136) ὡς ἐπὶ τῶν opolw(v) = ‘‘as in similar cases.” The adj. is used with ἴσος in Sy// 162 (= 5312)37 (end iv/B.c.) ἐπ’ ἴσηι καὶ ὁμοίηι, ‘upon equal and similar terms,” and for a weakened sense see P Tebt IT. 30018 (a.p. 151) διὼ ἐπιδίδομι ὥπως περιερεθῇ (7. διὸ ἐπιδίδωμι ὅπως περιαιρεθῇ) [τ]οῦτο τὸ ὄνομα ταγῆναι ἐν τῇ τῶν ὁμο[ίων)] τάξι, ‘‘wherefore I present this notice, that this name may be struck off and may be inscribed in the list of such persons” (viz. the dead). On the flexion of the adj. see Moulton Gr. ii. p. 157. Hort regards ὅμοιον in Rev 113 as virtually an adverb like οἷον.
