Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
αὐθάδης [page 91]
In P Amh II. 78 .13 f. (A.D. 184) it seems certain that we should read μ [ου ] πλεόνεκτῖ ἄνθρωπος α [ὐ ]θάδης (not ἀσθενής ). A few lines lower we find τοιαύτης ο [ὖ ]ν αὐθαδίας ἐν αὐτῷ οὔσης οὐ δυνάμενος [ἐν ]καρτερεῖν , his audacity having reached this pitch I can endure no longer (Edd.). According to Crφnert Mem. Herc. , p. 32, the form αὐθαδία , which in Attic is confined to the poets, linguae pedestris auctoribus sine dubio reddenda est. Its vernacular character may be further established by P Tebt I. 16 .10 (B.C. 114) αὐθαδίᾳ χρώμενοι persisting in their violent behaviour (Edd.), Syll 893 .27 (ii/A.D.) καὶ τοὺς ὑβρίσαντας τοὺς ἥρωας (the Di Manes ) τῶ̣ν τέκνων ἡμῶν καὶ ἐμὲ καὶ τὸν ἄνδρα μου Π . καὶ ἐπιμένοντας τῇ αὐθαδίᾳ , CPHerm 1 .8 (no context), BGU III. 747 ii. 11 (A.D. 139) μέχρι αὐθαδίας ἐπ [ι ]χειροῦσιν φθάνειν , ib. IV. 1187 .21 (i/B.C.) τῆι δὲ περὶ ἑαυτὰς βίαι καὶ αὐθαδίᾳ [συ ]νχρησάμενοι , P Gen I. 31 .9 (A.D. 145 6) τῇ αὐτῇ αὐθαδίᾳ χρώμενος . The subst. is not found in the NT, but see LXX Isa_24:8 , Didache 5:1. The adverb is quotable from P Tebt II. 331 .7 ( c. A.D. 131) ἐπῆλθο̣[ν α ]ὐθάδως εἰς ἣν ὲ̣χ̣ω̣ ἐν τῇ κώμῃ οἰκίαν̣, P Grenf I. 47 .10 (A.D. 148) ἐπιγνοὺς αὐθάδως τεθε [ρ ]ίσθαι ὑπ [ὸ ] Ὥρους κτλ ., P Ryl II. 133 .16 (A.D. 33) αὐθάδως κατέσπασεν ἀπὸ μέρους ventured to pull it partly down (Ed.), P Lond 358 .12 ( c. A.D. 150) (= II. p. 172) αὐθάδως ἀναστραφέντὼν , and P Oxy X. 1242 iii. 44 (iii/A.D. a semi-literary piece), where Trajan says to an anti-Semite advocate, Ἴδε , δεύτερόν σοι λέγω , Ἑρμαΐσκε , αὐθάδως ἀποκρείνῃ πεποιθὼς τῷ σεαυτοῦ γένει .
