To the few exx. of this NT ἅπ . εἰρ . ( 1Pe_1:18 ), handed down from one s fathers, inherited, Deissmann ( BS , p. 266 f.) adds a Pergamene inscr., Perg 248 .49 (B.C. 135 134), in which Attalus states that his mother Stratonike, who came originally from Cappadocia, had brought τὸν Δία τὸν Σαβάζιον πατροπαράδοτον to Pergamus. See also another Pergamene inscr. Cagnat IV. 293 i. 31 where a gymnasiarch is praised ἐπὶ [τ ]οῖς προγεγραμμένοις καὶ ἐπὶ τῶι πατροπαράδοτ [ο ]ν [ἔχ ]ον [τα τὸ μεγαλο ]μερὲς καὶ φιλόδοξ̣ον μηδένα καιρὸν παραλείπειν , and Michel 394 .4 (mid. i/B.C.) πατροπαράδοτον παρειληφὼς τὴν πρὸς τὸν δῆμ [ον ] ἡμῶν εὔνοιαν .
