Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
τέσσαρες [page 631]
four. On the forms τέσσαρες and τέσσερες see WH Notes .2 , p. 157. Moulton ( Proleg . p. 36) notes that the characteristic Achaian acc. in ες is well established in the vernacular, and that in the NT τέσσαρας never occurs without some excellent authority for τέσσαρες . He adds to the discussion of τέσσαρες as accusative the reminder that the word is isolated, as the only early cardinal which ever had a separate acc. form, and cites statistics from the ostraca to show how this indeclinable form predominated in business language before A.D. 200 ( ib . p. 243 f.). The dat. pl. τέτρασι in Act_11:5 D is interesting.
