Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";footstool,"; is first found in the LXX (Psa. 98꞉5 [MT Psalms 99:5], al.), and is sometimes claimed as a Jewish formation (cf. Winer-Schmiedel Gr. p. 23), but, as showing that the word may already have been current in the popular tongue, Deissmann (BS, p. 233) cites two exx. from ii/A.D. marriage-contracts, CPR I. 22.8 (reign of Antoninus Pius) καθέδραν σὺν ὑποποδίωι, and similarly ib. 27.11 (A.D. 190). To these we may add from an earlier date P Tebt I. 45.38 (B.C. 113) ὑποπόδιον in a list of stolen articles, and the ostracon Preisigke 4292.3 (Rom. : cf. Archiv iv. p. 248) ὑποπόδια δύο.
