Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Hib I. 27.52 (calendar—B.C. 301–240) ἄγουσιν κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτ [ὸν ] τῆι αὐτῆι ἡμέραι τ [ὰς ] πλείστας οὐθὲν πα [ραλ ]λάσσοντες ἐπ᾽ ἄστρω [ι ] ἢ δύνοντι ἢ ἀνατ [έλ ]λοντι, ";they (sc. the astronomers and sacred scribes) keep most of the festivals annually on the same day, without alterations owing to the setting or rising of a star"; (Edd.), P Oxy II. 235.15 (horoscope—A.D. 20–50) δύνει Σκορπίος οἷκος Ἄρεως. In the Eudoxus papyrus, P Par I.145 (c. B.C. 165) we have ἀεὶ δὲ φανερὸς ὁ μηδέποτε δύνων, ᾧ εἰσὶν αἱ ἄρκτοι, and.173 εἰ μὲν γὰρ ὁ πόλος ἀνανεύσει ἢ κατανεύσει, αἱ ἄρκτοι δύσονται καὶ ἐπιτελοῦσιν. P Hal I. 1.240 (c. B.C. 250) ὡς δὲ ἂν ἥλιος ] δύηι, μηδὲ εἷς ἐνεχυραζ [ ]τω μηδὲ πρὶν ἥ [λιον ἀνατέλλειν has the strong aorist, as the sense shows. We might also quote an application to the sunset of life, from Kaibel 568.4 (Rome, iii/A.D.?) : ἥτις ἐνὶ ζωοῖσιν ὅκως ἀνέτελλεν Ἑῷος, νῦν δύνει δ᾽ ὑπὸ γῆν Ἕσπερος ἐν φθιμένοις. The daring versifier is adapting Plato’s gem, the epitaph of Aster.
