Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἄρσην (~ ἄρῥην ) [page 79]
The form ἄρσην , which WH read throughout, is illustrated by P Oxy IV. 744 .9 (B.C. 1) (= Selections , p. 33) where with reference to the birth of a child it is directed ἐὰν ἦν ( l. ᾖ ) ἄρσενον ἄφες , ἐὰν ἦν ( l. ᾖ ) θήλεα ἔκβαλε : cf. also P Gen I. 35 .6 (A.D. 161) κ [αμήλους ] [τε ]λείους ἄρσενας δύο λευκούς . In P Oxy I. 37 i. 7 (A.D. 49) (= Selections , p. 49) we have ἀρρενικὸν σωμάτιον , but in ib. 38 .7 (a document dealing with the same incident, A.D. 49 50) (= Selections , p. 53) it is ἀρσενικὸν σωμάτιον . For ἄρρην see further CPR 28 .12 (A.D. 110) τῶν δὲ ἀρρένων υἱῶν , BGU I. 88 .6 (A.D. 147) κάμηλ (ον ) ἄρρενον [λ ]ευκόν , P Strass I. 30 .13 (A.D. 276) ἀρρενικὰ ἑπτά , P Lond 46 .105 (magic, iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 68) θῆλυ καὶ ἄρρεν . Ostr 1601 has παιδίου ἀρσενικοῦ : cf. P Oxy IX. 1216 .14 (ii/iii A.D.) ἦ καὶ ἀρσενεικὸν ἡμῖν ἀφίκατα̣[ι ;], Have you produced us a male child? (Ed.), and the MGr ἀρσενικός . There is an important investigation into the rationale of the variation between ρσ and ρρ in the Κοινή in Wackernagel Hellenistica , p. 12 ff. : also see Thumb Hellen. , p. 77 f. A further orthographic difference appears in P Petr III. 59 b (iii/ii B.C.) σώματα ἐρσενικά : see other instances, and a discussion on dialect points involved, in Mayser Gr. p. 5; and cf. Thumb s Gr. Dial , (index s.v. ἔρσην ).
