Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Division between two or more parties, as in Luke 15:12, is the ordinary force of the word. Thus in a iii/B.C. inscr. in Ἀθηνᾶ xx. p. 167 ἀγρὸς. . ὃν ἔλαβεν διαιρούμενος πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφόν, P Magd 29.4 (B.C. 218) διαιρέσεως γενομένης καὶ συγγρ [α ]φῆς τεθείσης διειρῆσθαι ἴσως καὶ ὁμοίως, οὐ διείρηταί μοι δικαίως —of a division of land that had not been carried through justly : cf. BGU IV. 1123.8 (time of Augustus) διαιρεθήσεται εἰς μέ [ρη ] ἴσα καὶ ὅμοια τρία, καὶ λήμψεται ἕκαστ [ο ]ς ἡμῶν μέρος ἕν, P Oxy X. 1278.10 (A.D. 214) διειρῆσθαι π [ρὸ ]ς ἑαυτοὺς τὴν καρπείαν, ";have divided among themselves the usufruct,"; and OGIS 573.24 (i/A.D.) διαιρείτωι δ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὰ (ε)ἰσφερόμενα τῶι θεῶι εἰς κατασκευὴν τοῦ τόπου, where the editor remarks that ";verbum notionem distribuendae pecuniae in diversas expensas quibus opus sit habere videtur."; With the dat. as in Lk l. c. cf. P Lond 880.11 (B.C. 113) (= III. p. 9) ὁμολογεῖ. . διειρῆσθαι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα [αὐ ]τῶι ἔγγαια τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ υἱοῖς. The construction with πρός is commoner. The more general sense of ";distribute,"; as in 1 Corinthians 12:11, may be seen in the Will of Epicteta, Michel 1001vi. 18 (c. B.C. 200) οἱ (sc. ) δὲ ἀρτυτὴρ διελεῖ τὰ ἱερὰ τοῖς παροῦσι. For the middle in the same sense cf. Syll 229.19 (iii/B.C.) διείλοντο τὸ ἀργύριον —the meaning is practically = διεῖλον πρὸς ἀλλήλους. In ib. 831.7 πάντα ἃ ἔχε [ι ] διελόμενος Νικήρατος πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφόν this will not apply.
