Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Αὔγουστος is usually replaced by the translation Σεβαστός : it is well to remember that the title meant a great deal more than ";august,"; being connected essentially with the apotheosis of the Emperor. Since Σεβαστός enters into the style of every Emperor till Constantine (when in the papyri Αὔγουστος significantly replaces it), the original Latin word could be retained in an early writer (see per contra exx. from iv/A.D. below) as the personal name of Octavian : so Luke 2:1 against Acts 25:21; Acts 25:25. The spelling Ἀγούστου in אC*Δ represents a genuine Hellenistic pronunciation (see Proleg. p. 47); but in the case of this Latin word it is probably (so Prof. Thumb) conditioned by the influence of vulgar Latin : cf. Ital. agosto. [γ ]ούστων occurs in P Lond 407.21 (A.D. 346) (= II. p. 274), which is roughly coeval with א : the Edd. note it is thus spelt in many of the papyri of the period. So P Oxy I. 41.3 (iii/iv A.D.) Ἄγουστοι κύριοι , BGU IV. 1049.1 (A.D. 342), P Goodsp Cairo 12i. 11 (A.D. 340) τῶν τὰ πάντα νικόντων Σ ̣εβ ̣αστῶν ἡμῶν Ἀγούστων , ib. 15.5 (A.D. 362) [γο ]ύστου . The tendency arose in Greek centuries earlier—Mayser Gr. p. 114 cites Γλακίου from P Par 41.6 (B.C. 158), and σατοῦ and the like appear in Ptolemaic times.
