πρόσκαιρος, which occurs first in 4 Maccabees 15:2; 4 Maccabees 15:8; 4 Maccabees 15:23, is used in the NT = ";for a season,"; ";transitory"; (2 Corinthians 4:18). The word is found in an edict of Caracalla, P Giss I. 40ii. 26 (A.D. 215) (= Chrest. I. p. 39) πρ ]α ̣γματείας προ ̣[σ ]καίρου, with the meaning ";in season,"; ";opportune"; : cf. OGIS 669.15 (i/A.D.) τὴν πρόσκαιρόν τινος ἀδικίαν μειμησάμενος, where the editor defines it as ";temporis cuiusdam rationibus accommodatam,"; and Syll 737 (= .3 1109).44 (A.D. 178) εἴ τις πρόσκαιρος ἑορτὴ τοῦ θεοῦ, with reference to a feast which took place on a special occasion.
