Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The noun ἀποστάτης (cf. LXX Dan 3.32) occurs in P Revill Mél (B.C. 130) (= Witkowski,.2 p. 96) χρήσασθαι δ᾽ αὐτοῖς ὡς ἀποστάταις (sc. τοῖς ἐν Ἑρμώνθει ὄχλοις), whom a certain Paon μετὰ δυνατῶν ἱκανῶν is sailing up the Nile to reduce (καταστῆσαι). So in Syll 930.50 (B.C. 112) τινες τῶν ἐγ Βοιωτίας ἀποστά [ται ] γεγενημένοι. In P Amh II.30.33 ff (ii/B.C.) we read of the burning of title-deeds by Egyptian ";rebels,"; ἠναγκάσθην ὑπὸ τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ἀποστατῶν ἐνέγκαι τὰς συνγραφὰς καὶ ταύτας κατακαῦσαι. The old word ἀπόστασις, equivalent to –σία (cf. 1 Maccabees 2:15, Acts 21:21, and see Nägeli, p. 31), occurs in P Par 36.13 (ii/B.C.), where a temple recluse petitions the strategus against the conduct of certain persons who had forced their way into the temple, βουλόμενοι ἐξσπάσαι με καὶ ἀγαγῆσαι, καθάπερ καὶ ἐν τοῖς πρότερον χρόνοις ἐπεχείρησαν, οὔσης ἀποστάσεως. For the adj. ἀποστατικός, see P Tor 8.68 (B.C. 119) ἀποστατικῶι τρόπωι. In the same line αὐτοκρασίαι occurs, an illustration of the Hellenistic tendency to form new nouns in –σία : see Lobeck, Parerga, p. 528 f.
