Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀπερισπάστως. The adj. is common. Thus P Grenf. I. 114-8 (B.c. 157) τούτου δὲ γενομένου Kal ἀπερίσπαστος by δυνήσομαι ἀπροφασίστως εἰς τὸ βασιλικὸν τὰ ἐκφόρια ἀπομετρῆσαι. P Oxy Il. 28617 (A.p. 82) ὅπως παρέχωνται ἡμᾶς ἀπερισπάστους [καὶ] ἀπαρενοχλήτους ὑπὲρ τῆς προκειμένης ὀφειλῆς καὶ ἀποδώσειν ταῦτα, “in order that they may secure us against any liability or trouble in connexion with the aforesaid debt, and may repay it” (Edd.). In P Oxy VI. 808,5 (Δ... 123) ὑποθέσθαι ὅσα ἔχω ἐν τῇ ᾿Οάσε[ι] κτήματα [λα]βόντα τοῦ Διοσκόρο[υ] γράμματα ἀπερίιom] άστου, the editors translate “ to mortgage all my property in the Oasis in return for a deed of release received from Dioscorus,” and explain γράμματα ἀπερισπάστου as a deed of indemnification, distinguished by the formula ἀπερίσπαστον παρέξεσθαι or some equivalent phrase. In 1. 18 of this same papyrus the deed is called ἢ ἀπερίσπαστος simply. The development of meaning is exactly like that of our “‘ security,” in the commercial sense. Other examples of the word are P Rein 1839 (B.c, 108), BGU IV. 1057” (Aug.), P Lond 932% (ap. 211) (Ξ- ΠΙ. p. 149), and P Amh 11. το 19 (early iii/A.D.), etc.
