Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

πλήρης. There are not a few traces ofan indeclinable πλήρης, “ full,” in our NT texts—Mk 4? (C*—see WH Wo/es?, p. 24), Jn τς (all but D—cf. Deissmann ZAZ, p. 125 ff.), Ac 65 (all but B), also Mk 819 (AFGM a/.), Ac 63 (AEHP a/.), 197° (AEL 33), 2 Jn*°(L). See further Pro/eg. p. 50, and for the interpretation of Jn 11 cf. C. H. Turner 7715 i. pp- 120ff., 561 ἢ. Indeclinable πλήρης can now be abundantly illustrated from the papyri. Much our earliest ex. is P Leid Cii 4 (B.C. 161) (=I. p. 118, UPZi. p. 353) χαλκοῦς στατηρειHovs μαρσείπειον πλήρης.
