Dr Nδgeli (cf. p. 36) kindly supplies us with the following instances of the use of this word in the inscrr. and papyri : Michel 913 (ii/B.C.) (= CIG 3088) . . . ὑποβολῆς Ζωΐλος Ζωΐλου· ἀναγνώσεως , Ζωΐλος Ζωΐλου κτλ . (according to the commentary in CIG ὑποβολῆς , in sense of ῥαψῳδίας , is dependent on ἀνταποδόσεως ) ; CPR I., p. 59 (a loan on a house beginning of iv/A.D.) ἐπὰν μὴ ἀποδῶ τοκῖν (fut. of τοκίζω , with -ῖν for -ιεῖν , and act. for mid.) σοι ἐπιγνώσωμαι ( l. -ομαι ) τοῦ ὑπερπίπτοντος χρόνου ἄχρις ἀνταποδώσεως , where the editor translates, wenn nicht, so verstehe ich mich fόr die άberzeit bis zur Rόckerstattung dazu, sie Dir zu verzinsen. Its literary record is unexceptionable.

Reward (469) antapodosis
Reward (469) (antapodosis from antà = in turn + apodÃdomi = render. See verb antapodidomi = give back in return for something received) describes the action of recompensing, repaying or rewarding and stresses the action of giving back an equivalent. It is a recompense given to someone on basis of or in exchange for what has been done and can be positive or negative. In the present context it is used in a positive sense.
While antapodosis is used only here in the NT, there are 16 uses in the non-apocryphal Septuagint - Judg 9:16; 16:28; 2 Sam 19:36; Ps 19:11; 69:22; 91:8; 94:2; 103:2; 131:2; Isa 34:8; 59:18; 61:2; 63:4; 66:6; Jer 51:56; Hos 9:7
