Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀδημονέω. Lighttoot’s translation of ἀδημονῶν, ““ distressed,” in Phil 255, is borne out by P Oxy II. 29845 1. (i/a.p.) λίαν ἀδημονοῦμεν χάρ[ι]ν τῆς θρεπτῆς Σαραποῦτος, where the editors render, “I am excessively concerned on account of the foster-child Sarapous.” Towards the etymology of this word, T. W. Allen (CR xx. p. 5) traces an adj. δήμων in the //éad (M 211), with the meaning ‘‘ knowing” “ prudent,” so that ἀδημονεῖν would suggest originally bewilderment. The adj. must be independent of δαήμων, though ultimately from the same root (devs, as in δέδαε, Skt dasmdh: cf. Boisacq Dict. Ltym., Ρ. 168). " dons. Without suggesting that there is anything to be called a real parallel with Rev 218, it may be worth while to quote P Oxy I. 331 $® (late ii/A.D.), an interesting papyrus describing an interview between M. Aurelius or Commodus and a rebel, τίς ἤδη τὸν δεύτερόν μου ᾷδην προσκυνοῦντα καὶ τοὺς mpd ἐμοῦ τελευτήσαντας ... μετεκαλέσατο, zc. ‘facing death for the second time.” The word does not appear in the indices of any papyrus collection, so far as non-literary documents go: the magic papyrus, P Leid Vvii- 90 (οὗ ἡ γῆ ἀκούσασα ἐλεύσεται, ὁ ἄδης ἀκούων ταράσσεται) will serve as exception to prove the rule. Except for its appropriation from the literary language to represent Sheo/ in the LXX, we should probably not find it in NT. It is significant that Paul substitutes θάνατε for ἅδη when quoting Hos 13! in 1 Cor 15°. Prof. W. M. Calder tells us the word is common on tombstones in Asia Minor—doubtless a survival of its use in the old Greek religion.
