Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In P Ryl II. 65.18 (B.C. 67?—in any case Ptol.) a judgement ends with καὶ τἄλλα τὰ δι᾽ αὐτῆ [ς δι ]ωρισμένα μένειν κύρια καὶ ἀπαράβατα, ";valid and inviolate"; (Edd.). The legal formula, thus established for an early period, survives six centuries later in P Grenf I. 60.7 (A.D. 581) ἀπαραβάτῳ πράσει : ";inviolable"; must be the sense, though the words follow a hiatus. Another example, also vi/A.D., is in P Lond 1015.12 (= III. p. 257) ἄτρωτα καὶ ἀσάλευτα καὶ ἀπαράβατα [ . . . , a contract for the surrender of property. See also P Catt rectov. 19 (ii/A.D.) (= Chrest. II. p. 422) ἔνια ἀπαράβατά ἐστιν, ";es gibt Dinge, an denen sich nichts ändern lässt"; (Ed.). It is clear that the technical use, compared with the late literary (ap. Lobeck Phryn. p. 313), constitutes a very strong case against the rendering ";not transferable";. Phrynichus himself prescribed ἀπαραίτητος : what sense that would have made in Hebrews 7:24 passes comprehension. Vettius Valens has the adverb five times (see index), always as ";validly"; or ";inevitably."; It occurs in P Strass I. 40.23 (A.D. 569), rendered ";unverbrüchlich"; (Ed.).
