Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐπιγραφή in the literal sense of an ";insertion"; is found in P Lond II. 178.13 (A.D. 145) (= II. p. 207) τὸ δὲ χειρόγραφον. . καθαρὸν ἀπὸ ἐπιγραφῆς καὶ ἀλίφαδος κύριον ἔστω : see Archiv i. p. 125. Cf. also P Ryl II. 316.2 (ii/A.D.) ]πὸ δὲ ἐπιγραφῶν καὶ παραγραφῶν from a much mutilated sale of land. In PSI IV. 424.9 (iii/B.C.) τοῦτο δὲ ποιήσας ἔσει ἐμέ τε σεσωικὼς. . καὶ τὴν ἐπιγραφὴν ταύτην ἕξεις, the word is used of a mark or title of honour. It is common as a special term in connexion with a tax whose precise nature remains uncertain. Grenfell and Hunt describe it as in any case ";an extra burden"; as distinguished from the ordinary land taxes (Tebtunis Papyri, I. p. 38 ff.) : see also their note on P Oxy XII. 1445.8 (ii/A.D.), where the word is said to be used in papyri of the Roman period ";in the wide sense of ‘assessment’ in connexion with many kinds of taxes upon land,"; and cf. P Par 63.71 (B.C. 164) (= P Petr III. p. 24) καὶ μήτ᾽ ἐνίοις καταδεεστέραν τοῦ μετρίου τὴν ἐπιγραφὴν γενηθῆναι μήτε πάλιν ὑπερτείνουσαν αὐτὴν τυχοῦσαν, ";if the corvée were not unduly relaxed in some cases, nor, on the other hand, excessive in amount"; (Mahaffy).
