Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This adj., which occurs several times in the LXX, but in the NT is confined to 2 Peter 1:17, may be illustrated from the use of the adverb in inscrr., where it is frequently found united with such words as ἐνδόξως and κηδεμονικῶς : cf. also OGIS 308.5 ff. (ii/B.C.) where Apollonis, wife of Attalus I., is described as having left behind her good proof of her virtue—διὰ τὸ κεχρῆ [σθ ]αι καὶ [θε ]οῖς εὐσεβῶς καὶ γονεῦσιν ὁσίω [ς ὡ ]ς καὶ πρὸς τὸν ἴδιον ἄνδραν συνβεβιωκέναι μεγαλοπρεπῶς, the last two words being translated by Dittenberger egregie vixit. Cf. the account of the preparations for the reception of a Roman Senator in Egypt in P Tebt I. 33.6 (B.C. 112) (= Selections, p. 30) μεγαλο íυ ýπρεπέστερον ἐγδεχθήτωι, ";let him be received with special magnificence"; (Edd.), PSI V. 481.8 (v/vi A.D.) Ταυρῖν ̣ος ὁ μεγαλοπρεπέστ (ατος), and P Amh II. 154.5 (vi/vii A.D.) τοῦ μεγαλοπρε (πεστάτου) χαρτουλαρίου, ";the most magnificent secretary."; For the subst. as a title of address cf. P Oxy VIII. 1163.4 (v/A.D.) ἐρωτηθὶς παρὰ τῆς αὐτοῦ μεγαλοπρεπίας ὅσα ἐχρῆν ἀνεδίδαξα α ̣ ̣[τ ]ὸν ̣ περὶ τῆς ὑμετέρας μεγαλοπρεπίας, ";on the inquiry of his magnificence I told him what was fitting about your magnificence,"; ib. I. 155.6 (vi/A.D.) ἐπειδὴ αἱ προσκυνοῦσαι τὴν ὑμετέραν μεγαλοπρ (έπειαν) καὶ τὰ παιδία ἀρρωστοῦσιν, ὡς ἔθος ἔχει τὸ ὑμῶν μέγεθος χαρίζεσθαί μου τοῦ λογαρίου, ";since your magnificence’s obedient servants and their children are ill, I hope your highness will excuse my account"; (Edd.).
