Vocabulary of the Greek NT

An interesting ex. of this verb is found in a letter ol remonstrance from the Senate of Antinoöpolis to the epistrategus Antonius Alexander, in which they vindicated the privilege bestowed on them by Hadrian to be exempt from public burdens outside their own city, P Oxy VIII.1119.16 (A.D. 254) θεὸς Ἁδριανὸς. . . . . . ἐνομοθέτησεν σαφῶς παρὰ νόμοις μὲν ἡμεῖν ἄρχειν καὶ λειτουργεῖν, πασῶν δὲ ἀπηλλάχθη τῶν παρ᾽ ἄλλοις ἀρχῶν τε καὶ λειτουργιῶν, ";the deified Hadrian clearly established the law that we should bear office and burdens nowhere but at home, and we were relieved of all offices and burdens elsewhere"; (Ed.). For the pass., which alone occurs in the NT, see OGIS 329.18 (mid. ii/B.C.) τὰ καλῶς καὶ δικαίως νενομοθετημένα ἡμῖν ὑπὸ τῶ [ν βα ]σιλέων, ib. 493.56 (ii/A.D.) ταῦτα μὲν ὑμεῖς ὀρθῶς καὶ καλῶς. . νενομοθετήσθω.
