Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The following examples from the Oxyrhynchus papyri may serve to illustrate this common word—I. 75.34 (A.D. 129) Διωγενίδαν . . . τετελευτηκέναι ἄτεκνον περιόντων τῶν γονέων , ";that D. has died childless in her parents’ lifetime,"; III. 478.11 (A.D. 132) ἐξ ἀμφ [οτ ]έρων γονέων , VIII. 1121.11 (A.D. 295) οὐκ ἐπαυσάμην τὰ πρέποντα γείνεσθαι ὑπὸ τέκνων γονεῦσι ἀναπληροῦσα , ";I was assiduous in performing what is owing from children to parents"; (Ed.). From a much earlier period P Eleph 23.12 (B.C. 223–2) will serve as a sample, θεοὺς ]Ἀδελφοὺς καὶ θεοὺς Σωτῆρας τοὺς τούτων γονεῖς . The word in the Κοινή is plural only, as predominantly in class. Grk. So with the MGr γονῖοί ";parents,"; but there is a γονῖός ";father,"; which was perhaps derived from the plural.
