Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
συνγνώμη, in NT only in 1 Cor 75, with meaning “concession,” ‘“allowance” for circumstances (ex concesstone, imperio, Beza). From this there is an easy transition to the sense of ‘‘ pardon”: cf. P Cairo Zen I. 5904457 (B.C. 257) καλῶς δ᾽ ἂν ποιοῖς καὶ συγγνώμην ἡμῖν ἔχων, P Tebt I. 278 non ἐχ ,΄ σύνδεσμος (B.C. 113) (= Chrest. I. p. 389) διαλαβὼν μηδεμιᾶς τεύξεσθαι συνγνώμης ὀλιγωρηθέντος τινός, ““ believing that you will receive no pardon for any neglect’ (Edd.), P Flor I. 6115 (A.D. 86-88) συ[γ]γνώμην αἰτούμενος ἐπεὶ ἐπλανήθη περὶ τὴν ἔντευξιν, P Oxy VI. 930919 (iv/A.p.) (= Selections, p. 129) συνγνώμην δέ, κύριέ pov, σχοίης pot [καὶ εὔνους] ἀποδέξει με, ‘but pray, my lord, do you pardon me and receive me kindly,” and BGU III. 836% (time of Justinian) αἰτοῦντες συγγνώμην δοθῆναι αὐτοῖς.
