Syll 371.21 (Magnesia, i/A.D.) δεδόχθαι. . τετιμῆσθαι. . Τύραννον καὶ εἶναι ἐν ἀποδοχῇ τῷ δήμῳ. In ib. 656.20 f. (Ephesus, c. A.D. 148) an ἀγωνοθέτης named Priscus is styled ἀνδρὸς δοκιμωτάτου καὶ πάσης τειμῆς καὶ ἀποδοχῆς ἀχίου. Field’s examples (Notes, p. 203) show how much of a formula this ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος (as 1 Timothy 1:15) had become. The inscription is quoted, with other epigraphic examples, by Bishop Hicks in CR i. p. 4, from which may be selected OGIS 339.14 (c. B.C. 120) τῆς καλλίστης ἀποδοχῆς ἀξιούμενος παρ᾽ αὐτῶι. Add Priene 108.312 (after B.C. 129), 109.234 (c. B.C. 120) ἐν ἀποδοχῆι τῆι μεγίστηι εἶναι, ";to enjoy the highest esteem"; (see Fouillac, p. 39).
The derivative ἀποδοχεῖον, which is found in the LXX, occurs in Rev L 3119, 322, 5418 (B.C. 258), and is apparently to be restored in the much mutilated P Petr III 36 (b) ii. 12 (B.C. 252) βουκο ̣λω ̣ν κ (ώμης) ἀπ ̣ο ̣δοχίω ̣[ι ], ";in the granary of the herdsmen’s village."; So P Hib I. 85.21 (B.C. 261).
The phrase μετὰ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς (cf. 1 Timothy 1:15) occurs in Cagnat IV. 144.8 (Cyzicus, i/A.D.), of the ";general appreciation"; of an act of the Princess Antonia Tryphaena.
