Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In the long land-survey P Tebt I. 61 (b).51, .68 (B.C. 118–7) we find ἐγ διαιρέσεως bis of the ";division"; of wheat among several cultivators : cf. ib. 72 (B.C. 114–3) quater. For the same meaning see P Tebt. II. 382.4 (division of land—B.C. 30–A.D. 1) ἐκ κλήρου διαιρέσεω ̓, ";in consequence of the division by lot,"; P Flor I. 5.5 (A.D. 244–5), ib. 50.116 (A.D. 268), P Strass I. 29.43, .45 (A.D. 289), P Gen I. 11.4 (A.D. 350) al. In P Hib I. 116.3 (c, B.C. 245) διαίρεσις Μεχὶρ ἕως Ἐπείφ, the word is used of a ";period"; of time. From the inscriptions we may cite Syll 510.24 (ii/B.C.) καὶ κοινὴμ μὲν διαίρεσιν ταύτην εἶναι, —ἂν δέ πως ἄλλως πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁμολογήσωσιν ὑπὲρ τῆς διαιρέσεως κτλ. with reference to certain μερισμοὺς τῶν ἐγγαίων.
