Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The sense of this adjective in 1 Peter 2:2 is now set at rest by its constant occurrence in the papyri in the sense of ";pure,"; ";unadulterated."; Thus P Hib I. 85.16 f. (B.C. 261–0) σῖτον καθαρὸν ἄδολον ἀπὸ πάντων μετρήσει, ib. 98.19 (B.C. 251–0) σῖτον κα [θαρὸν ἄ ]δ [ο ]λον κεκοσκιν [ευμένον ] (";sifted";). Six examples come from this volume of iii/B.C. all referring to ";unadulterated"; corn. From i/A.D. we may cite P Oxy VIII. 1124.11 (A.D. 26) πυρὸν νέο [ν ] καθαρὸν ἄδολον ἄκρειθον, ";wheat that is new, pure, unadulterated, and unmixed with barley."; PSI 31.21 (A.D. 164) τὰ ἐκφόρ ̣ι ̣α ̣ παραδώσω ἐν τῇ κώμῃ καθαρὰ καὶ ἄδωλα gives the adj. a general application to all farm produce. P Oxy IV. 729.19 (A.D. 137) ἀπ ]οδότωσαν τῷ μεμισθ [ω ]κότι τὸν μὲν οινον παρὰ ληνὸν νέον ἄδολον gives the rare application to liquids : cf. P Ryl II. 97.3 (A.D. 139), of oil. The word is used of λαχανοσπέρμον, ";vegetable seed,"; in P Fay 89.11 (A.D. 9), and of λάχανον in BGU IV. 1015.12 (A.D. 222–3). Cf. Syll 653.100 (i/B.C.) οἱ πωλοῦντες ἄδολα καὶ καθαρά. So of χρῖμα in Aeschylus Agam. 95 (but cf. Verrall), and in MGr of wine (Abbott, Songs of Modern Greece, p. 68). The figurative use appears in the late P Par 21.15 (a deed of sale, A.D. 616), ὁμολογοῦμεν. . . ἀδόλῳ συνειδήσει.
