τιμάω. For τιμάω = ‘honour,’’ as generally in the NT, cf. the decree in honour of a gymnasiarch P Oxy III. 4737 (A.D. 138-160) τιμῆσαι αὐτόν, Chrest. I. gti’ (a.p. 232) τιμή 63 τειμηθέντων τῶν Κ[ρατίστων Μαξιμίνου καὶ υἱο]ῦ Μαξίμου, and the inscrr. saefe. Τιμητός occurs in P Petr I. 24 (3)? (Ptol.). The meaning “set a value upon,” “‘ price,” as in Mt 27° LXX, is seen in such passages as P Cairo Zen II. 592691° (an account—s.c. 234) é[av δ]ὲ πλείονος ἢ ἐλάσσονος τ[ιμ]ῆται, αὐτῶι ὑπάρξει, ‘if the price be reckoned at more or less, it will be imputed to him accordingly,’’ PSI IV. 38215 (n.c. 248-7) τιμῶσι δὲ αὐτὴν (sc. τὴν ἀκάνθην) (δραχμῶν) KH, P Par 58% (B.C. 153-152) (= UPZ i. p. 325) ter(unkads> τὴν βοῦν ταλάντων τρία ἥμυσυ, and I Flor 11. 2665 (iii/A.p.) ἅπή]αντα τίμηστ[οἹν.
