Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Hib I. 27.80 (a calendar—B.C. 301–240) ἔλεγεν δὲ [δύο ] τ ̣ὰς πορείας εἶναι τοῦ ἡλίου μία (l. μίαν) μὲν τὴν διορίζουσαν νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν μία (l. μίαν) δὲ τὴν διορίζουσαν χιμῶνα καὶ θέρος, ";he said that the courses of the sun were two, one dividing night and day and one dividing winter and summer"; (Edd.), P Petr III. 144iv. 20 (B.C. 246) ἡλίου περὶ καταφορὰν ὄντος, ";at sunset,"; P Oxy IV. 725.12 (A.D. 183) ἀπὸ ἀν [ατολῆς ] [λίου ] μέχρι δύσεως, and an astronomical dialogue of iii/A.D., P Ryl II. 63.4, where in answer to a question regarding certain εἴδωλα, it is replied—Ἥλι ̣ο ̣ς [ἐσ ]τ ̣ι ̣ν ̣ δεξιὸς ὀφθαλμός, Σελήνη ὁ εὐώνυμος : see also the ii/B.C. papyrus of the astronomer Eudoxus, καθ᾽ ὃν ὁ ἥλιος φερόμενος τὴν μὲν ἡμέραν βραχυτέραν ποιεῖ τὴν δὲ νύκτα μακροτέραν. Two instances may be added from the inscrr., Michel 466.10 (iii/B.C.) ἅμα τῶι ἡλίωι [ἀν ]ατέλλοντι, ib. 1357.10 (B.C. 300–299) ἡλίου ἀνιόντος ὁδός. For the late ἡλιαστήριον, ";a place for sunning oneself,"; cf. P Ryl II. 206.48 (late iii/A.D.), and the introduction to P Oxy VII. 1014 : also for a literary ex. ib. VI. 985. In MGr ἥλιος is found also in the form νήλιος, the ν having been carried over from a preceding word owing to a mistaken separation of words : see Thumb Handbook, p. 25, and cf. ";newt,"; ";nickname,"; also Fr. lierre (Lat. hedera).
