Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
προδίδωμι, in the NT only in Rom 1135, occurs in the same sense of ‘‘give before,” ‘‘give first,’ in P Oxy VIII. 110219 (c. A.D. 146), with reference to a man’s bequeathing part of his estate to his native city, ὑφαιρουμένης τῆς προικὸς τῆς προδεδομένης τῇ θυγ[ατρί, ‘with a deduction of the dowry previously given to the daughter” (Ed.): cf. P Petr IL. 4(8)* (B.c. 255-4) τὸ yap προδοθὲν αὐτοῖς δόμ[α, OG/S 266% (iii/B.C.) οἹύδὲ προδώσω ὑπεναντίωι οὐθενὶ οὔτε αὐτοὺς οὔτε αὐτ[ῶν τι, and Sy// 246 (= 8 547)35 (after B.C. 211-0) προδιδοὺς ἀργύριον εἰς ἐσθῆτα, with the editor's note. For the meaning ‘‘deliver up” cf. P Thead 17!® (A.D. 332) where inhabitants of Theadelphia petition the Praefect τοὺς [δ]μοκομήτας ἡμῖν προδοῦναι, ‘to deliver up to us certain fellow-villagers” who had fled, in order that they might escape taking their share in bearing the village burdens. In Vett. Val. pp. 781%, 24015, προδίδωμι = perdo. For the subst. πρόδομα of a payment in advance see P Flor I. 20% (a.p. 127) (= Chrest. I. p. 422) τὰ ὑπὲρ τῆ (9) ἀρούρης ἐκφόρια ἐκ προδόματος : cf. P Cairo Zen I. 590024 (B.C. 260).
