Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For the metaph. phrase κατ ἐξοχήν (Acts 25:23) see Syll 373.16 (i/A.D.) ἐπιτελέσαι τῷ κατ᾽ ἐξοχὴν παῤ ἡμεῖν τειμωμένῳ θεῷ Διὶ Καπετωλίῳ, OGIS 764.52 (ii/B.C.) ἔπαθλα κατ᾽ ἐξοχὴν καλά : cf. Vett. Val. p. 17.23 καθόλου ἐξοχὰς ἐχόντων περὶ ἐπιστήμην, and the use of the word in our slang sense of ";a lead"; in Cic. Att. iv. 15. 6. A corresponding use of the adj. is found in Vett. Val. p. 16.1 ἐν παντὶ δὲ τὸ ἔξοχον μάλιστα προδώσουσιν ἐν τῷ παιδευτικῷ : cf. OGIS 640.16 (iii/A.D.) τοῦ ἐξοχωτάτου ἐπάρχου and P Oxy XII. 1469.1 (A.D. 298) Αἰμιλίῳ. . . διαδεχο (μένῳ) τὰ μέρη τῶν ἐξοχωτάτων ἐπάρχων, where the editors note that ἐξοχώτατος (eminentissimus) occurs frequently in inscrr. with reference to prefects of the Praetorian Guard or of Syria, but is very rare in Egypt. See also the fragmentary dinner-menu P Giss I. 93.3 καυλίων ἔξο ̣χ ̣α ̣ ε ̣[. . ..] λοπὰς ἰχθύος μ [. . .. For the verb in the mid. = ";cling to,"; like προσέχομαι, cf. P Oxy VII. 1027.6 (i/A.D.) ἐξ οὗ καὶ ἐξεχομένου μου τῆς τῶ [ν ] ἠνεχυρασμένων προσβολῆς, ";when I therefore pursued my right of entry upon the transferred property"; (Edd.). In MGr ἐξοχή has developed a new meaning ";country.";
