ὁμολογουμένως matter whatever "᾿ (Edd.), 76. 1573 (a.p. 135) ὁμολογοῦμεν διῃρῆσθαι πρὸς ἀλλήλας ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος [ὃ ἔχομεν ἐΐν μισθώσει οὐσιακ[ὸ]ν ἀμπελικὸν κτῆμα, ‘we acknowledge that we have divided between ourselves at the present time the domain-land vineyard which we hold on lease” (Edd.), and the recurring formula in receipts ὁμολογῶ ἀπέχειν, “1 acknowledge that I have received,’ e.g. BGU II. 39422 (A.D. 137) ὁμολογῶι ἀπέχειν [π]αρὰ τοῦ Στοτοήτιος τὰς] προκιμένας [ἀρ]γυρίου [δρα]χί μὰς] δίιακο]σίας τείσ]σα[ρ]άϊκο]ντα ὀκτὼ. .. With the usage “‘ praise,” ‘celebrate,” in Heb 13!°, which Grimm-Thayer pronounces as “unknown to Grk. writ.,’” we may compare the somewhat similar phrase ὁμολογῶ χάριτα in petitions, e.g. P Ryl Il. 114°* (c. A.D. 280) ὅπως . . . τῇ τύχῃ σου χάριτας ὁμολοyetv δυνηθῶ, “that I may avow my gratitude to your fortune,” P Oxy I. 67% (a.p. 338) ὅπως ταύτης ἡμεῖ]ν τῆς εὐεργεσίας ὑπαρχθείσης εἰσαεὶ σοῦ τῇ τύχῃ χάριτας ὁμολογήσωμεν, and the Christian letter P Oxy VI. 9308 (iv/a.p.) kal εἴη διὰ παντὸς ἡμᾶς χάριτας opo[Aoyoovtals διατελεῖν ὅτι ἡμῖν ἵλεως ἐγένετο, ‘and may it be granted us to continue for ever to acknowledge our thanks to Him because He was gracious to us” (Edd.). A good ex. of the meaning “promise ’’ (class.), asin Mt 147, is afforded by the Phrygian inscr. Cagnat IV. 542 θεῷ ὑψίστῳ εὐχὴν Αὐρήλιος ᾿Ασκλάπων, ἣν [ὠἸ]μολό[γ]ησεν ἐΐν] Ρώμῃ. On the Semitism in ὁμολογῶ ἐν (Mt τοϑ3, Lk 128) cf. Nestle ZV7IV vii. p- 279f., ix. p. 253, Burkitt Zardiest Sources for the Life of Jesus, p- 19 f., and see s.v. ἐξομολογέω. MGr podoya. ΕΟ ae' ὁμολογία is very common in our sources in the sense “‘ contract,” “‘agreement,”’ e.g. P Eleph 2" (B.C. 285-4) συγγραφὴ kal | opodoyia—the heading of a Will, P Ryl II. 178% (early i/A.D.) Tacets ἸΠετεεῦτος τέθειμαι τὴν ὁμολογίαν καὶ ἐκθρέψωι τὸ δουλικὸν σωμάτιον Θερμουθάριον ἐπὶ τὰ δύο ἔτηι, “1, Taseus daughter of Peteeus have made the agreement and 1 will nurse the infant slave Thermoutharion for the two years” (Edd.), 7d. 161° (A.D. 71) κατὰ τήνδε τὴν ὁμολογίαν, ‘in accordance with this agreement,” P Fay gt! (A.D. 99) ὁμολ(ογία) OeverKoveis πρὸ(ς) Λούκιοί( ν), ** agreement of Thenetkoueis with Lucius,” P Tebt IT. 3923 (a.p. 134-5) ἕτερα ἐφ᾽ οἷς ἡ ὁμολογεί[α] περιέχει, ‘other items according to the terms of the agreement” (Edd.), P Oxy XIV. 162779 (A.D. 342) πρὸς δὲ ἀμεριμνίαν σου τήνδε τὴν ὁμολογίαν σοι ἐξεδόμην, ‘‘and for your security I have issued to you this contract” (Edd.), and from the inserr. Sy// 2143° (i1i/B.C.) τὴν περὶ τῆς συμμαχίας ὁμολογίαν ἥκουσι κομίἵοντες. For ὁμολόγημα see P Strass I. 4057 (A.D. 569) with the editor’s note. ‘Opédoyos isa technical term for a labourer working under a contract, cf. e.g. Ostr 413° (a.D 63) (= LAE, p 105, where Deissmann compares Mt 20116, 1 Cor 97), and for ὁμόλογος γῆ, with reference to land of which the liability was ‘“‘agreed upon,” see P Ryl II. p. 286f.
