Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Ostr 1262 (Ptol.) ἔχω παρὰ σοῦ τὸ ἐκφόριον καὶ τὸ ἐμβαδικὸν τοῦ ἐδάφους μου ἀμπελῶνος, and similarly P Grenf I. 21.8 (B.C. 126) ἔδα (φος) ἀμπελῶ (νος), P Lond 401.11 (B.C. 116–11) (= II. p. 14) ἀπὸ ἐδάφους ἀμπελῶνος. For the plur. = ";lands,"; see P Tebt II. 302.10 (A.D. 71–2) where certain priests petition against an increase of rent τοῖς προκιμέν ]ο ̣[ι ]ς ἐδάφεσι ἡμῶν, ";on our aforesaid lands,"; and P Oxy XII. 1409.19 (A.D. 278) πρὸς ἀρδείαν τῶν ἐδαφῶν, ";for the irrigation of the fields."; The derived sense of ";buildings"; appears in P Oxy II. 286.22 (A.D. 82) σειτικῶν ἐδαφῶν καὶ ἑτέρων, ";granaries and other possessions."; In Michel 594.57 (B.C. 279) τὸ ἔδαφος ὁμαλίσασι the reference is to levelling the floor, and in the late Preisigke 5114.9 (A.D. 613–40) a house is purchased ἀπὸ ἐδάφο (υ) ἄχρι ἀέρος. Note the gen. in -ου : Boisacq, p. 215, points out that . was originally a masc. stem in -ο - which became a neut. in -ε (ς) through the influence of ἕδος.
