Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀνταπόδοσις. Dr Nageli (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.) (= CZG 3088) . . . ὑποβολῆς ἀνταποδόσεως, Zwihos Ζωΐλου: ἀναγνώσεως, Ζωΐλος Zwidov κτλ. (according to the commentary in C/G 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 -ἶν for -vetv, and act. for mid.) σοι ἐπιγνώσωμαι (7. -ομαι) τοῦ ὑπερπίπτοντος χρόνου ἄχρις ἀνταποδώσεως, where the editor translates, ‘‘ wenn nicht, so verstehe ich mich fiir die Uberzeit bis zur Riickerstattung dazu, sie Dir zu verzinsen.’’ Its literary record is unexceptionable.
