Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
στολή, ascribed to Bardaisan, which show that in Mesopotamia in li/ili A.D. στοιχεῖα were understood as ** personal cosmic powers.”’ Tor an extension to the thought of ““tutelary spirits,’’ “angels,” see Deissmann in £8 s.v. ‘‘ Elements,” who applies it in the difficult NT passages Gal 43,9 and Col 28, 39, understanding by Gal 4% ‘‘cosmic spiritual beings,” the “angels” by whom according to 319 the law was ordained, and by 45 ‘‘the heathen deities’? whom the Galatians had formerly served, while in Co! 28, 30 it is again personal powers who are thought of, ‘‘ the principalities and the powers ” of 215. It may be added that this interpretation can also be illustrated from modern Greek usage, as when in Abbott Songs p. 178° we read of τὸ στοιχεῖο᾽ τοῦ ποταμοῦ, ‘ the spirit of the stream.’’ Cf. Thumb Handbook p. 356: στοιχειό, “spirit,” ‘‘ghost,” and στοιχειώνω, “make a ghost of,” ‘‘ become a spirit.
