Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὑπάρχω. The idea of falling back upon a ‘‘basis,’’ and hence of continuity with a previous state, which originally belonged this verb (cf. Hort ad Jas 215), seems gradually to have faded in later Greek, as the following exx. show—P Petr III. 64(4.)!* (iii/B.c.) τοῦτο (sc. τὸ ὀψώνιον) ὑπάρξει 7 τιμὴ τῶν εὑρεθέντων] παρὰ Τασύθει, ‘this will be made up by the price of the articles discovered in the possession of Tasuthis” (Edd.), P Hib I. γ218 (B.c. 241) τὴμ μὲν σφραγῖδα ὡμολόγουν ὑπάρχειν ἐν τῶι ἀδύτωι, ‘confessed that the seal was in the sanctuary”’ (Edd.), P Oxy IX. 11Sgl® (c. A.D. 117) περὶ γραφῆς τῶν τοῖς [᾿1Ι]ουδαίοις ὑπαρξάντων, ‘about ἃ list of property which belonged to the Jews”.(Ed.), 7. VI. 93317 (late ii/a.D.) πάντα αὐτῇ ὑπῆρκται, “everything was provided for her” (Edd.), 2d. 90518 (a.p. [2 ὑπείκω 170) (= Selections, p. 87) a marriage contract, where the giver of the bride has the right of execution upon the husband and upon all his property—ék τῶν ὑπαρχ[όϊντων αὐτῷ πάντων (cf. Mt 19%, a/.), P Tebt II. 4187 (iii/a.p.) εὐχόμενός σοι τὰ ἐν βίῳ κάλλιστα ὑπαρχθήσεσθαι, ‘ praying that you may have life’s greatest blessings ” (Edd.), and the mantic P Ryl I. 2845 (iii/iv A.D.) ἐν δανίοις δὲ ὑπάρχων ἀποδώσει (cf. Lk 7%). It may be added that the new recension of Tobit 2 in P Oxy VIII. 1076 inserts in ver. 8 καὶ ἀπώλεσεν πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοϊίν)τα αὐτοῦ, which is reproduced in the Old Latin version with e¢ perdédit subStantiam suam. In view of the above, the meaning ‘‘ being originally” (RV marg.) cannot be pressed for ὑπάρχων in Phil 2°, though the thought is probably present. As showing how naturally it might arise, we may cite the letter of Claudius to the Alexandrines, P Lond 1912°8 (A.D. 41) φύσει μὲν εὐσεβεῖς περὶ τοὺς Σεβαστοὺς ὑπάρχοντες, ‘‘you are by disposition loyal to the Augusti’’ (Ed.), and 26. 14... In MGr ὑπάρχω = ‘‘am present,” “ exist.
