Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For this NT ἅπ. εἰρ. (John 4:12) = ";cattle"; (AV, RV) we may cite P Oxy II. 246.16 (A.D. 66) ἀπεγραψάμην. . . ἀπὸ γ [ο ]νῆς ὧν ἔχω θρεμμάτω [ν ] ἄρνας δέκα δύο, ";I registered twelve lambs which were born from sheep in my possession"; (Edd. : BGU III. 759.11 (A.D. 125) ἐπελθόντες μοι. . . ποιμαίνοντι θρέμματα Ἀνουβίωνος, P Amh II. 134.5 (early ii/A.D.) Πετ ̣έα ὄντα ἐν ἀγρῷ μετὰ τῶν θρεμμάτων νυκτὸς ἀποσπάσαι, ";to seize Peteus by night while he was in the fields with the cattle"; (Edd.), and from the inscrr. Syll 293.26 (B.C. 178–7) ποτάγειν τὰ ἰδιωτικὰ θρέμματα, OGIS 200.11 (iv/A.D.) αὐτοὺς ἤγαγον πρὸς ἡμᾶς μετὰ καὶ τῶν θρεμμάτων αὐτῶν. With θρέμμα in its literal sense of ";nursling"; we may compare the use of θρεπτάριον in a Paris papyrus, p. 422.18 τὰ ἀβάσκαντά σου θρεπτάρια, ";tes charmants petits nourrissons,"; and θρεπτός = ";foster-child"; in P Oxy II. 298.5, .46 (i/A.D.), or ";foundling"; as in C. and B. i. p. 147 No.37 (cf. p. 350), where it is noted that θρέμμα has the same meaning.
