Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Syll 439.20 (iv/B.C.) ὃς δ᾽ ἂν δόξηι μὴ ὢν φράτηρ ἐσαχθῆναι, ἐξαλειψάτω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτο ὁ ἱερεύς, OGIS 218.129 (iii/B.C.) ἐξαλείψαντας τ [ὸ ονομ ]α τὸ ἐκείνου —passages which at once recall Revelation 3:5. Cf. also the προσκύνημα Preisigke 4116.9 καὶ μ᾽ ἐξαλείψας ἐπὶ σ᾽ ἐξαλείψας ἐξαλειφθῆναι αὐτῷ τὸ ζῆν, and the Christian prayer P Oxy III. 407.3 (iii/iv A.D.) ἐξαλίψον μου τὰς ἁμαρτίας. For the meaning ";deface,"; ";obliterate,"; see PSI IV. 403.5 (iii/B.C.) τὴμ ̣ μὲν ἐπιστολὴν ἣν ἀπέστειλας οὐκ ἠδυνάμην ἀναγνῶιναι διὰ τὸ ἐξηλεῖφθαι. The practice of ";washing out"; the writing on papyrus, so that the sheet might be used for other purposes, is discussed by Erman Mélanges Nicole, p. 119 ff.; for the added force thus given to the figure in Colossians 2:14, see Milligan Documents, p. 16. For a new literary reference see Menandrea, p. 83.310 ὑπόνοιαν. . . [ἀκοσμίας ], | ἣν ἐξαλ ̣είψαιτ ̣᾽ οὐκέτ᾽ οὐδ᾽ αἰσχ [ύνομαι.
