Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This NT ἅπ. εἰρ. (Hebrews 7:22) is common in legal and other documents, e.g. P Petr III. 41 recto.8 εἰ οἱ πρότερον ῢ ̣̣π ̣α ̣ρχου ̣[σιν ] ἔγγυοι, χρημάτισον Ἀ. κτλ., ";if there are the former sureties, pay to A.,"; etc., P Grenf I. 18.22 (B.C. 132) ἔγγυοι ἀλ [λ ]ήλων εἰς ἔκτεισιν τῶν διὰ τοῦ δανείου πάντων οἱ δεδανεισμένοι, and so 20.15 (B.C. 127), P Oxy I. 38.6 (A.D. 49–50) (= Selections, p. 52) δι᾽ ἐνγύου ἐμοῦ, ";on my security,"; P Gen I. 24.8 (A.D. 96) ὁμολογοῦσι Πετεσοῦχις. . καὶ Σαταβοῦς. . ἀλλήλων ἔγγυοι [εἰς ἔ ]κτ [ισιν. An early example of the fem. noun may be seen in P Eleph 27.9 (B.C. 223–2) πρὸς ἐγγύην, ἣν ἐνεγυησάμεθα εἰς ἔκτισιν. For instances of the verb cf. P Oxy II. 259.7 (A.D. 23) ὃν ἐνγεγύημαι. . . ἐκ [τ ]ῆς πολιτικῆς φυλα [κ ]ῆς, ";whom I bailed out of the common prison"; (Edd.), ib. VI. 905.17 (A.D. 170) (= Selections, p. 87) ὁ πατὴρ. . . εὐδοκεῖ τῷ [τ ̣ε ̣] γάμῳ καὶ ἐνγυᾶται εἰς ἔκτισιν τὴν προκειμένην φερνήν, ";the father assents to the marriage, and is surety for the payment of the aforesaid dowry,"; and for ἐγγυητής such a passage as P Oxy XII. 1483.18 (ii/iii A.D.) τὸν ἐγγυητήν σου κατέχω ἕως ἂν τ ̣[ε ]λ ̣ ̣ς ̣ μοι τὴν τιμὴν τῶν ζητουμένων, ";I hold your surety, until you pay me the value of the claims."; On ";Pfandrechtliches"; in ancient Egypt, see Manigk in Archiv vi. p. 114 ff. Ἔγγυος is probably derived from an old word for ";hand"; (cf. γύαλον, Lat. vola, Av. gava ), like ἀμφίγυος and ὑπόγυος, so = ";what is put in the hand.";
