Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ὑπόδικος. For the forensic ὑπόδικος = ‘answerable to,” ‘* bring under the cognizance of,” rather than ‘‘ guilty before,” as in Rom 31°, cf. Michel 10098 (c. B.C. 275) ἐὰν δέ τις πα]ρὰ ταῦτα ποιῆι, ὑπόδικος ἔστω ἐν ᾿Αμφικί[τί]οσιν, and 27). 1357°* (B.C. 300-299) ὑπόδικος ἔστω Διόδωρος ἐάν τι πίροσ]οφείλει τῆς μισθώσεως. See also P Hal I. 1101 (mid. 1ii/B.C.) ὁ δὲ μ[ὴ ποιῶν κατὰ τὰ γεγραμ]μένα ὑπόδικο[ς ἔστω τοῦ βλάβους (τῶι ἀδικουμένωι), and P Fay 22° (i/A.D.) where, amongst other Ptolemaic marriage enactments, certain officials are held answerable—o[t]md8tkor (2. ὑπόδικοι) o[twoav—apparently for the dowry.
