Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For ἀ. = ";disobey"; in its later as in its earlier history see s. v. ἀπείθεια and cf. P Hib I. 73.19 (B.C. 243–2) τὴν Πάτρωνος βίαν, ὃς ἀπειθῶν δια [τετέλεκε τοῖς πα ]ρὰ σοῦ προστάγμασιν, ";the violence of Patron, who has continued to disobey your orders"; (Edd.), P Tebt I. 6.46 (B.C. 139—decree of Euergetes II) τοὺς δὲ ἀπειθοῦντας ἐπαναγκάζετε εὐτάκτω [ς ] ἕκαστ᾽ ἀποδιδόναι, ";compel those who disobey to pay all the sums regularly"; (Edd.), ib. 49.17 (B.C. 113) ἐὰν δὲ ἀπειθῆι, ";if he refuses"; (Edd.). So Rev L 43.10 (iii/B.C.) [τ ]ῶν γεωργῶν τῶν ἠπειθηκότων, P Tebt I. 183 (late ii/B.C.) ἐ [ὰ ]ν δὲ ἀπει [θῶσι κ ]αταστῆσαι ἐπ [ὶ ] τὸν στρατη [γό ]ν, and from Roman times P Tebt II. 315.30 (ii/A.D.) ἔχι γὰρ συστατικὰς ̣[ὅ ]π ̣ως τὸν ἀπιθοῦντα μετὰ φρουρᾶς τῷ ἀρχιερῖ πέμπιν, ";he has instructions to send recalcitrants under guard to the high-priest"; (Edd.), P Oxy IX. 1185.31 (c. A.D. 200) εἰ δὲ μή γε, ὂ ̣ ἂν ἀπειθήσει τούτῳ μου τῷ διατά [γματι ], ";otherwise, if any one disobeys this my order,"; P Ryl II. 153.37 (A.D. 138–61) ἐὰν δ ]ε ̣̣ ἀπιθῇ ὁ [Μύρων καὶ μὴ ἀπ ]ο ̣δοῖ ταύτας, of disobedience to the terms of a will. Add from the inscriptions Syll 614.110 (Cos, dialect, iii/B.C.) αἰ δέ κά τις. . . ἀπειθῇ, let him be fined, ib. 510.82 (Ephesus, ii/B.C.) ὡς ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ ἐπιβουλεύοντα τοῖς συ (μ)φέρουσι τῆς πόλεως, ib. 737.99 (ii/A.D., Athens) ἐὰν δὲ ἀπειθῇ πρασσόμενος, he is to be denied entrance to the Bacchium, and similarly .142, ib. 653.40 (Andania, B.C. 91) τὸν δὲ ἀπειθοῦντα ἢ ἀπρεπῶς ἀναστρεφόμενον εἰς τὸ θεῖον μαστιγούντω οἱ ἱεροί, and so .43. We have not sought for more instances, but it has seemed desirable to give rather plentiful illustration to prove a case which is very important for doctrine.
