Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Δορκάς is found as a feminine name among both Greeks and Jews (see Knowling ad Acts 9:36 in EGT). An interesting example is afforded by a Delphic inscription of ii/B.C., Syll 854.11, .12, where a certain Alexon entrusts the care of a manumitted slave of this name to one Thracidas—τρεφ ]έτω Θραικίδας Δορκάδα, εἴ κα θέλῃ [ο ]ἰκεῖν ἐν τα [ [τῶι · εἰ δὲ μή, ἐνβαλλέτω Θραικίδας Δορκάδι τροφὰν τοῦ μηνὸς ἑκάστου πυρῶν τέσσαρα ἡμίεκτα κτλ. See also Deissmann BS, p. 189, ZNTW i. p. 88. The diminutive, which is found in LXX Isaiah 13:14, occurs in a papyrus letter P Lond 413.14 (c. A.D. 346) (= II. p. 302), complaining of the gazelles which are spoiling the writer’s crops—ἐπιδὴ τὰ δορκάδι [α ] ἀφανίζουσειν τὸ (l. τὰ) σπόριμα.
