Vocabulary of the Greek NT

It may be well to note that ἀεί, whose oldest form is αἰ ϝ εί, is the locative of a neuter noun identical with Lat. aevom : αἰών is the same word in a different declension. The papyrus form is ἀεί, as Mayser shows, p. 103 f. : αἰεί, which Brugmann Griech. Gram..4 p. 57 thinks to be re-formed under the influence of αἰών, crept in after the Ptolemaic period. It occurs however as early as B.C. 22 in the new parchment from Avroman in Western Media (Saïd Khan 2a.9 ), described by E. II. Minns at the Hellenic Society (Nov. II, J 9 J 3) τε ̣λέουσι δ ̕ αἰεὶ κατ ̕ ἐνιατ ̣[ ]ν ̣ κτλ. It figures in the standing formula of the Decian libelli (A. D. 250) : as P Kyi II. 112 a.4 , b.6 , c.5. The word comes most frequently in similar formal phrases, like ἐπὶ or εἰς τὸν ἀεὶ χρόνον (e. g. P Oxy III. 503.20 — A.D. 118, or P Lips I. 3i. 8 — A.D. 256), or in the stiff language of legal documents, as BGU IV. 1108.26 (B.C. 5) etc. It only occurs in this one place in BGU I.- IV. : in P Oxy I.-X. its total is 7, for the nonliteraiy texts, and of these only two (iii/ or ii/iii A.D.) are dissociated from formulae. It may be seen also eight times in CPR in a standing formula. It is significant in this connexion that it is greatly outnumbered in NT by πάντοτε, which replaces it in MGr. Note the petition P Ryl II. 114.26 (c. A. D. 280) οἰκίωται. . τῷ Σ. [ἐμὲ τη ̀ν χηρὰ ]ν ̣ . . ἀεὶ ἀποστερει ̑ν, " it has become a habit with S. on all occasions to rob me " (Edd.).
