Vocabulary of the Greek NT

With Luke 24:29 cf. P Par 69 (A.D. 233) πράξας περὶ ἑσπέραν. The word is found in the fragment of a lost Gospel P Oxy IV. 655.2 ἀφ᾽ ἑσπ [έρας ἕως π ]ρωί. In ib. VIII. 1163.2 (v/A.D.) it refers to locality—τῇ τετράδι καταλαβὼν εἰς ἑσ ̣πέραν τὴν Δαρνιτῶν, ";I arrived on the 4th at the western border of Darne"; (Ed.) : cf. Preisigke 4651.11 (A.D. 250–1) καθ᾽ [ ]σπέ [ρ ]αν οἰκία ̣ς. For the rough, instead of the smooth, breathing taking the place of an original simple ϝ see Brugmann-Thumb, p. 52. MGr σπέρα.
