Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The verb is not so common as we might have expected, but for the ordinary meaning we may cite P Oxy III. 471.75 (ii/A.D.) σύνβολα δεικνύντα , ";showing signs,"; and for the metaphorical, as James 2:18; James 3:13, ib. II. 237vi. 21 (A.D. 186) ο ̣ὐ ̣δ ̣ε ̣μίαν μὲν οὔτε ὕβριν οὔτε ἄλλο ἀδίκημα εἰς αὑτὸν ἁπλῶς ἐφ᾽ ᾧ μέμφεται οεῖξαι ε ̣͗χων , ";he could not indeed cite a single insult or any other act of injustice against himself with which he charged me"; (Edd.) : cf. ib. I. 67.19 (A.D. 338) εἵν᾽ οὕτως διχθῇ [αὐ ]τῶν ἡ καθ᾽ ἡμῶν [πλεο ]νεξία , ";in this way their aggression against me will be made clear"; (Edd.). A ii/A.D. calculation of the naubion-tax upon catoeci, printed in P Tebt II. p. 339 f., is followed by δέδικ [ται , ";proved,"; written ";in a cursive but probably not different hand"; (Edd.). OGIS 267.16 (iii/B.C.) οἱ μετὰ ταῦτα δεικνύμενοι (στρατηγοί ), where the simplex takes the place of the commoner ἀποδείκνυμι (see s.v.) in this sense. With the use of the verb in John 14:8, etc., we may compare the Christian prayer, P Oxy VIII. 1150.5 (vi/A.D.) δεῖξον τὴν δύναμ [ίν σου . On the Christian sepulchral inscription, P Hamb I. 22.3 ff. (iv/A.D.) υ ]ἱὲ θεοῦ μεγάλοιο τὸν οὐδέποτε δράκεν ἀνὴρ (cf. John 1:18), ὃς τυφλοῖσιν ἔδωκας ἰδεῖν φάος ἠελίοιο , δεῖξον ἐν ἀνθρώποισι κτλ ., the editor remarks that we may either supply φάος after δεῖξον , cf. Isaiah 53:11, or possibly take δεῖξον absolutely as in Numbers 16:30, Psa. 58꞉10 (MT Psalms 59:10 ὁ θεός μου δείξει μοι ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου . For the ordinary meaning ";exhibit"; we may cite the rescript of Caracalla, P Giss I. 40ii. 28 (A.D. 215), where the Emperor, from his record an excellent judge of Kultur, lays it down that ἔτι τε καὶ ζω [ὴ ] δεικνύει ἐναντία ἤθη ἀπὸ ἀναστ ̣ροφῆς [πο ]λειτικῆς εἶναι ἀγροίκους Α [ἰ ]γυπτίους . MGr is δείχνω or δείχτω , with meaning unchanged.
