Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀργύρεος. The adj. in its contracted form (as in 2 Tim 259, Rev 939) is found in P Lond 191" (an inventory of household furniture, A.D. 103-17) (= II. p. 265) φύλλια ἀργυρᾶ ὀκτώ: cf. P. Lond 1245 (iv/v A.D.) (=I. p. 122). Constant association with χρυσοῦς produced a mixture of flexion in the fem. : thus ἀργυρὴ BGU 11. 388 4 ** (jii/iii a.p.), τῆν P Leid W xxiii 22 (jj/iii A.D.), but χρυσᾶν Rev 118, P Lond 1246 (iv/v A.D.) = I. p. 122). For the uncontracted forms, which do not seem to occur in the Ptolemaic papyri (Mayser G7. p. 293), see I Esr 67 A τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργύρεα (ἀργυρᾶ B), and cf. the long British Museum magic papyrus P Lond 121°! (iii/A.D.) (=I. p. 102) ἐπιγραφόμενον ἐπὶ χρυσέου πετάλου ἢ ἀργυρέου, and OG/S 480° (Ephesus, ii/B.C.) Αρτεμιν ἀργυρέαν kal εἰκόνας ἀργυρέας δύο. See further Helbing G7., p. 34 f. The form ἀργυρικός = ‘‘ of money ” generally is common both in the papyri and the inscriptions, e.g. P Amh 11. 31° (B.C. 112) τὴν σιτικὴν μίσθωσιν Kal τὴν ἀργυρικὴν πρόσοδον 74. opyupos ‘rents in corn and taxes in money ” (Edd.), P Grenf I. 211% (B.C. 126) ὑπάρχοντά μοι πάντα σύμβο(λά) τε σιτικὰ [κα]ὶ ἀργυίρικά) ““41}1 contracts belonging to me of corn and of money,” OG/S 90% (the Rosetta stone, B.C. 196) δαπάνας ἀργυρικάς Te kal σιτικὰς peyddas: cf. BGU 1. 14%)? (a.p. 255) λόγος ἀργυρικὸς λημμάτων Kal ἀναλωμάτων, 16. 151 15 (A.D. 194) πράκτορα ἀργυρικῶν.
