Vocabulary of the Greek NT

With the use of this verb in 3 Jn .9 we may compare P Par 63.161 (B.C. 165) (= P Petr III. p. 32) ἀσμένως ἐπιδέξασθαι τὸ προτεινόμενον, ";to receive cheerfully what is proposed,"; and for the slightly different sense in the following verse (3 John 1:10) cf. P Oxy II. 281.9 (A.D. 20–50) ἐγὼ μὲν οὖν ἐπιδεξαμένη αὐτὸν εἰς τὰ τῶν γονέων μου οἰκητήρια λειτὸν παντελῶς ὄντα, ";as he was destitute of means I received him into my parents’ house"; (Edd.). For the general sense ";accept"; cf. P Oxy I. 44.19 (late i/A.D.) τῶν ὠνῶν μὴ ἐπιδεδεγμένων ὑπὸ τῶν τελωνῶν, ";the taxes not having been accepted by the tax-farmers"; : the verb is also common with μισθώσασθαι of ";accepting"; the terms of a lease, e.g. P Oxy X. 1279.5 (A.D. 139). A derived sense ";undertake"; appears in P Par 63.90 (B.C. 165) (= P Petr III. p. 26) ἐπιδέχεσθαι τὰ τῆς γεωργίας, ";to undertake field labour,"; P Oxy III. 498.6 (ii/A.D.) ἐπιδεχόμεθα λαξείαν τῶν οἰκοδομουμένων λίθων κύβων, ";we undertake to cut the squared building stones"; : cf. ib. XII. 1412.7 (c. A.D. 284) οὐδὲ βραχεῖαν ἀνάθεσ [ι ]ν ἐπιδέχεται, ";does not admit even a brief delay"; (Edd.).

The subst. is found in PSI IV. 316.16 (iv/A.D. ?) βεβαι [ουμένης δέ μο ]ι ̣ τῆς ἐπιδοχῆς.
