Vocabulary of the Greek NT

(1) ";place,"; ";set"; : cf. P Oxy IV. 742.5 (B.C. 2) ἀπόστειλόν μ [ο ]ι πόσας δέσμας παρείληφες καὶ θ [ ]ς αὐτὰς εἰς τόπον ἀσφαλῶς, ";send me word how many bundles you have received, and put them in a safe place"; (Edd.), P Fay 119.17 (c. A.D. 100) τ ] ̣ ν διαγραφὴν τοῦ χόρτου ποῦ τέθικας; ";where did you put the notice of payment for the hay?"; P Oxy XIV. 1674.8 (iii/A.D.) θὲς τὴν ὀπτὴν πλίνθον π [α ]ρὰ τὴν πλάτην, ";put the baked bricks alongside the wall (?)"; (Edd.).

(2) ";put down,"; ";lay down"; : cf. P Cairo Zen II. 59218.32 (B.C. 254) ὑπόμνημα τῶ [ν ] ἱερέων τοῦ ἱεροῦ τῶν θέντων τὰ μέρη, ";memorandum of the priests of the temple who have paid their portions,"; and P Fay 109.5 (early i/A.D.) ἐάν σε δ < >.ῃ τὸ εἱμάτιόν σου θεῖναι ἐνέχυρον, ";even if you have to pawn your cloak"; (Edd.). See also Herodas V. 62 ἔθηκας, ";you put off"; (cf. Headlam’s note with its reference to Luke 19:21).

(3) ";make,"; ";appoint"; : cf. P Oxy IV. 745.2 (c A.D. 1) ὑπὲρ ὧν καὶ ἔθου χειρόγραφον [διὰ Ἀρ ]τεμᾶτος, ";for which you drew me up a bond through Artemas"; (Edd.), ib. III. 482.29 (A.D. 109) ἀκολούθως ᾗ περιὼν ἔθετο, ";in accordance with the will which he drew up in his lifetime"; (Edd.), P Strass I. 4.24 (A.D. 550) an attesting signatory—μ ̣αρτυ ̣ρῶ τῇ μισθώσει ἀκούσας παρὰ τοῦ θεμέν (ου). See also P Tebt II. 408.4 (A.D. 3.) ἐπιστάμενος πῶς σε τίθεμαι κὲ φιλῶ, ";since you know how I esteem and love you"; (Edd.).

(4) The word is used in financial transactions with reference to the borrower, e.g. P Grenf II. 31.8 (B.C. 104) ὁμολογεῖ Χαιρήμων. . . ἀπέχειν παρὰ Παοῦτος τοῦ Ὥρου τὸ ἐπιβάλλον αὐτῷ μέρος δανείου οὗ ἔθετο Πατοῦς Ὥρου, and P Oxy XIV. 1644.11 (B.C. 63–62) περὶ οὗ ἔθετο ὁ Μοσχίων τῆι τῶν ὁμολογούντων μητρί, ";concerning the money which Moschion borrowed from the mother of the acknowledging parties.";

(5) Some grammatical forms may be noted. A form τιθέω (τιθῶ) is supposed by the compd. ὑποτιθοῦσα in BGU I. 350.13 (time of Trajan), and for a passive τίθομαι note the compd. παρακατατίθομαι in ib. 326i. 16 (A.D. 189).

The aor. ἔθηκα is seen in Magn 67.7 (c. B.C. 200?) : for ἔθησα see Radermacher Gr. p. 79. According to Meisterhans Gr. p. 189 τέθηκα is the only perfect found in Attic inscrr. from B.C. 400 to B.C. 200; the form τέθεικα first makes its appearance in i/B.C. : but cf. from the papyri UPZ i. 62.4 (before B.C. 161 or 160) ἐκτέθεικα. The passive τέθειμαι, whose place is often taken by κεῖμαι, as in Philippians 1:16, may be illustrated from BGU IV. 1208.25 (B.C. 27–26) πέπομφά σοι ἣν τέθειται μίσθωσιν. See further Mayser Gr. i. pp. 79, 370, Dieterich Untersuchungen p. 216 ff. MGr θέτω (θέχτω, θήκω, τέκνω) with aor. ἔθεκα beside the more common ἔθεσα (Thumb Handb. pp. 331, 140).
