Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἄφιξις. One early citation may be made from P Petr IT. 13 (18 α)ϑ (B.C. 258-3) ἵνα ἀναχωσθῆι καὶ ὁμαλισθῇ πρὸς [τὴ]ν τοῦ βασιλέως ἄφιξιν, where the word certainly means αγγέσαὶ (the reference is to the filling up and levelling of some excavated place in view of a visit from King Ptolemy II.) : so also in Aristeas (ed. Wendland) 173 ὡς δὲ παρεγενήθημεν εἰς ᾿Αλεξάνδρειαν, mpoonyyédy τῷ βασιλεῖ περὶ τῆς ἀφίξεως ἡμῶν, and Magn 17}} ὡς δὲ περὶ ὀγδοιήκονθ᾽ ἕτη μετὰ τὴν ἄφιξιν ἐφάϊνησαν οἱ λευκοὶ] κόρακες, and as late as iv/A.D. in P Lips I. 64°° πρὸς (Δ πρὸ) τῆς ἀφίξεως τοῦ δικαστηρίου and 47, and in the Christian letter P Oxy VI. 93926ff(= Selections, p. 130) παραμυθούμ[ε]θᾳ δὲ αὐτὴν ἑκάστης ὥρας ἐκδεχόμενοι τὴν [σ]ὴν ἄφιξιν, “we comfort her by hourly expecting your arrival’’ (Edd.). But Josephus 47/¢. ii, 18 fin., μὴ προδηλώσαντες τῷ πατρὶ τὴν ἐκεῖσε UbiEY— not included among Grimm’s citations—can hardly mean anything but ‘‘ departure,” or at least ‘“‘journey’’: Whiston renders ‘‘removal.” It must be admitted that Jos. uses the word also for “arrival,” as Afzon i. 18 (127), 25 (223) and 27 (275). See Proleg. p. 26n! on the question of Ac 20%,
