Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Syll 21018 (iii/B.C.) τὴν χώραν ἀκέραιον. P Par 69iii. 28 (A.D. 232) ( = Chrest. I. p. 64) . . .] αὐτῷ τὸ πρᾶγμα ἀκέραιον ὡς ἦλ [θεν. . . In PSI 868 (A.D. 367–75) a man named Aurelius Sneus is bailed out of prison on certain conditions, ἀκέραιον καὶ ἐκτὸ [ς ] φυ [λακῆς ἀ ]ναδοθέντα. Much earlier comes an instance of the adverb, in BGU IV. 120847 (B.C. 27–6) ἐξηγή [σατό μ ]οι ἀκεραίως an outrage (ὕβρις) set forth in the petition which these words close. It is associated with ἀσινής in IG III. 1418 (ii/A.D.), and in a Delphian inscr. of ii/B.C. (BCH xxvii. p. 109.23) πρᾶγμα ἀ. = οὐ κεκριμένον. Crönert, to whom these two passages are due, cites also IG XIV. 951.21 (Rome, B.C. 78) εἰς ἀκέραιον ἀποκαθιστάναι = in integrum restituere. In P Lips I. 13.11 (A.D. 366) ]κ ̣εραίων ὄντων καὶ ἀκινδύνων is applied to a loan, in the promise to pay interest. (MGr ἀκέριος.)
