βιόω | ὅπως ἂν ἐμβάληται τὰς ἐλαίας εἰς βίκους, P Hal I. 75 (B.C. 232) εἰς [ξέϊνια φοίνικας καὶ ἐμβαλὼν εἰς βίκους δὸς καὶ ταῦτα παρακομίσαι ἡμῖν, and from a much later date P Lond 239% (c. A.D. 346) (=II. p. 298) xevvle(v) βίκους) B, “two jars of quails.” The word had apparently some vogue in Egypt, but it was very rarely found elsewhere. Bios. For B.=the fertod or duration of life, cf. P Petr II 13(19)* (c. B.c. 252) (= Witkowski, 2.22.3 p- 18) σοῦ προστατῆσαίι τὸν] ἐϊπ]ίλοιπον βίον, ‘to take care of you for the rest of your life,’ P Magd 187 (p.c. 221) εἰς | τὸ [λοιπὸν τοῦ βίου, P Par 30! (B.c. 161) μετ[ηλλαχότος τοῦ] πατρὸς τὸν βίον, P Tebt I. 4342 (B.c. 118) τετευχότες [τ]ῆς παρ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰς ἅπαντα τὸν βίον ἀντιλήμψεως, P Oxy IIT. 4737 (A.D. 138-60) τὴν τοῦ λοιποῦ βίου φιλοτιμίαν, CP Herm 1. γ ὅν: 4. (ΤᾺ...) ἀ[συνε]ξώστου διὰ βίου, ““ for life,” | P Ryl I. 2813 (iv/a.p.) if the right calf quiver, ἐξ ἀπροσδοκήτου προσλήμψεταί τι κατὰ τὸν βίον, ‘the person will unexpectedly acquire something in his life” (Ed.—but could | it mean “‘something affecting his livelihood” ?), P Fay τοῦ (the so-called letter of the dying Hadrian) οὔτε am[poc]δοκήτωϊς οὔτε ἀνοήτως ἀπαλλάσσομαι τοῦ βίου, P Magd 810 (B.c. 218) ὅπως ἀπαγγέλλω τὴν... κατ]άλυσιν τοῦ βίου (cf. 1. 5), and P Oxy VIII. 1121? (a.p. 295) πρὸ ὀλίγων τούτων ἡμερῶν τὸν βίον ἀναπαυσαμένης ἀδιαθέτου. For the common meaning /ivelihood, cf. ον 342*° (c. B.C. 48) δαπάναις χρώμ[εϊνος ταῖς ἐκ τοῦ βίου, ‘ex sua re familiari” (Ed.), τό. 32538 (i/B.c.) τῶν ἰδίων ἀπὸ τοῦ βίου [δ]απαν[ηἹμάτων, OG/S τ0430 (B.c. 51-47) τὸν γὰρ ἑαυτοῦ βίον ὁλοσχ[ερ]ῶς ἀν[έ]θετο τοῖς χρῆσθαι βουλομένοις, P Leid ἀγαθοῖς, P Cairo Preis 213 (A.p. 362) ἐμοῦ οὖν ἀποδημήσας (sc. -αντος) εἰς τὸ ἴδιον ἔργον, ὅπως εὕρω ἐξυπερετῆσαι (sv. τυπηρ-) τὸν βίον. The thought of saver of life, which underlies NT usage in 1 Tim 25, 2 Tim 2%, appears in a ii/B.c. inscription frora fEgina (OGZS 329%), in which a certain Kleon is praised for the εὐταξία which he displayed both in public and private life—arddeky πεποιημένου τῆς] πίραγ)ματικῆς καὶ τῆς κατὰ τὸν βίον εὐταξίας. So BGU IV. 1098%4 (c. B.C. 20), where a wife is bound τηρεῖν τὰ πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ τὸν κοινὸν βίον δίκαια. In 2). I. 2515 (a.p. 81), another marriage contract, the husband undertakes to provide τὰ δέοντα πάντα καὶ τὸν ἱματισμὸν καὶ τὰ ἄλλα, ὅσα καθήκει γυναικὶ γαμετῇ κα[τὰ] δύναμιν τοῦ βί[ο]υ, and 20. II. 3722 (A.D. 154) ἀ[νδ]ράσι πονηρὸν κ]αΠ] λῃσίτ]ρικὸν β[ίον ποιουμέϊνοις. With this last may be compared 76 VII. 3967 διενέγκας σεμνόν τε καὶ ἡσύχιον βίον παρ᾽ ὅλον τὸν τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ χρόνον, in which, in accordance with classical usage βίος, not ζωή, is the ethical word. For the exchange of the relative position of the two words in the NT and early Christian writings, see s.v. ζωή.
