Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀποτίνω [page 71]
The verb is very common P Petr I. 16 (2) .13 (iii/B.C.) ἐὰν δὲ μὴ διαγράψω [καὶ ] μὴ παράσχωμαι τὸ λοιπὸν ἐμφανὲς ἀποτείσω ἡμιόλιον , P Par 13 .14 (B.C. 157) ἀποτίνειν αὐτὸν τὴν φερνὴν παραχρῆμα σὺν τῇ ἡμιολίᾳ , P Oxy I. 101 .43 (lease of land, A.D. 142) ὃ δ᾽αν προσοφειλέσῃ ὁ μεμισθωμένος ἀποτεισάτω μεθ᾽ ἡμιολίας , ib. IV. 730 .26 (A.D. 130) al. In an interesting contract of apprenticeship, P Oxy II. 275 .27 (A.D. 66) (= Selections , p. 57) the father comes under a forfeit for each day of his son s absence from work ἀ̣[πο ]τεισάτω ἑκάσ [τ ]ης ἡμέρας ἀργυρίου [δρ́ ]αχμὴν μίαν . The verb is thus stronger than ἀποδίδωμι , and carries with it the idea of repayment by way of punishment or fine (cf. Gradenwitz Einf. i. p. 85 n .4 ), a fact which lends emphasis to its use in Phm_1:19 . For the contrast between the two verbs, see P Gen I. 21 .14 (ii/B.C.), as restored by Wilcken Archiv iii. p. 388, ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀποδῶι καθὰ γέγραπται , ἀποτε [ι ]σάτω [παραχ ]ρῆμα ἡμι [ό ]λιον , cf. BGU I. 190 .3 ff. , 2nd fragment (Domitian), ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἰσαποδῶι , ἀποτισάτωι παραχρῆμα μεθ᾽ ἡμιολία [ς ], and a similar use of προσαποτίσω in P Leid C .11 .
From the inscriptions cf. Kaibel 509 .2 where a certain physician of Nicaea records πολ [λ ]ὴν θάλασσα [ν ] καὶ γαῖαν [π ]ερι [νο ]στήσας τὸ π [επρω ]μένον ὧδ᾽ [ἀπέ ]τεισα , i.e. I died here, Syll 737 .97 (ii/A.D.) of an ἰόβακχος fined, etc. The word occurs in P Saοd Khan 1 a. 26 (B.C. 88) ἐὰν [δὲ κ ]αὶ ὁ Γαθάκης ὀλιγωρήσῃ τὴν [ἄμπε ]λον καὶ μὴ ποιήσῃ αὐτη̣̣[ν ] ε̣͗παφον (?), ἀποτειννυέτω τὸ α [ὐτὸ ἐπί ]τειμον : Radermacher Gr. p. 81 n .2 mentions ζέννυμι for ζέω , and ἀποτίνυμι in Passio Scillitanorum 6.
