Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For this characteristic Pauline verb cf. the question to an oracle, P Oxy XII. 1477.6 (iii/iv A.D.) εἰ καταλλάσσομαι εἰς τὸν γόνον; where the editors translate, ";am I to be reconciled (?) with my offspring (?) ?"; but in their note state that they regard the reading γόνον as";not very satisfactory."; See also OGIS 218.105 (iii/B.C.) φόνον δὲ ἐπιγαμία (ι)ς μὴ καταλλάσ [σεσ ]θαι μηδὲ χρήμασιν. For ἀντικαταλλάσσω see P Par 63191, cited s.v. εὔχρηστος.
