Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";a rock"; : PSI IV. 423.29 (iii/B.C.) λελατομεύκαμεν δὲ καὶ λίθ ̣ους βασιλικοὺς ἐκ τῆς πέτρας, P Leid Wxix. 3 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 149) (= αἱ) πέτραι, καὶ τὰ ὄρη, καὶ ἡ θάλασσα. In PSI IV. 433 (B.C. 261–0) πέτρα is used rather of rocky ground, much like πετρώδης in Matthew 13:5 al., τὰ σκόρδα (";garlic";) τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας, .Matthew 13:7 οὐκ ἐφυτεύθη οὖν ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας Ὀασιτικά : cf. the similar use of πετραῖος in P Tebt I. 84i. 8 (B.C. 118).

For the catastrophic influence of the divine name we may cite the magic P Leid V vii. 31 (iii/iv A.D.) (= II. p. 27) οὗ τὸ ὄνομα íοὗ ý ἡ γῆ ἀκούσασα ἐλεύσεται, ὃ ᾅδης ἀκούων ταράσσεται. . . αἱ πέτραι ἀκούσασαι ῥήγυν (= νυν)ται : cf. Matthew 27:51. See also P Osl I. 1.263 with the editor’s note.
