Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In the magic P Lond 46.157 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 70) we read of—καρδία περιεζωσμένη ὄφιν. With Luke 24:32 we may compare ib. 121.472 (iii/A.D.) (= I. p. 99) καιομένην τὴν ψυχὴν καὶ τὴν καρδίαν. The same conjunction of ψυχή and καρδία (cf. Matthew 22:37 al.) is seen in the imprecatory tablet Wünsch AF 3.15 (Imperial age) στρέβλωσον (cf. 2 Peter 3:16) αὐτῶν τὴν ψυχὴν καὶ τὴν καρδίαν. The new Logion 3 (P Oxy I. p. 3) πονεῖ ή ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὅτι τυφλοί εἰσιν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶ [ν offers an interesting parallel to Ephesians 1:18.
