Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For the original noun cf. BGU IV. 1059.9 (Aug.) ταξαμένη τὸ τέλος εἰς τὰ ἀ., ";having paid the slave-duty,"; and Syll 825.2 (iv/B.C.) ὅρος ἐργαστηρίου καὶ ἀνδραπόδων πεπραμένων ἐπὶ λύσει : workshop and slaves attached to it, sold ";à réméré"; (Michel). OGIS 218.62, .110 (iii/B.C.) has ἀνδράποδα in a catalogue of property, ib. 773.4 (iv/iii B.C.) τῶν ἀ. [τ ]ῶν ἀποδράντων, also ib. 629.22 (A.D. 137) ex suppl. It also occurs in a psephism of Apamea (or a neighbouring town) of the reign of Augustus : ἀνδράποδα δὲ καὶ τετράποδα καὶ λοιπὰ ζῷα ὁμοίως πωλείσθω. This last combination reminds us of the etymology of the word, which is merely an analogy-formation from τετράποδα, with which it is so often associated—just as electrocute is made out of execute, to take a modern instance of a common resource of language. The word, which was normally plural (sing. in P Cattaouiv. 16 = Chrest. II. p. 423, ii/A.D.), was never an ordinary word for slave : it was too brutally obvious a reminder of the principle which made quadruped and human chattels differ only in the number of their legs. The derivative ἀνδραποδίζω, ";kidnap"; supplied an agent noun with the like odious meaning, which alone appears in NT (1 Timothy 1:10). See also Philo de Spec. Leg. IV. 13 (p. 338 M.) κλέπτης δέ τίς ἐστι καὶ ὁ ἀνδραποδιστής, ἀλλὰ τοῦ πάντων ἀρίστου, ὅσα ἐπὶ γῆς εἶναι συμβέβηκεν.
