Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The original ἀπόμοιρα paid to the temples on the produce of vineyards, palm-groves, etc. would seem to have been 1/6th, but this was reduced by the Government to 1/10th in the case of certain favoured classes : see P Rev L 244–10 with the editors’ notes. An odd inversion of the Jewish conception of tithes comes in P Hib I. 115.1 (c. B.C. 250) where, according to the editors, the μόσχων δεκάτης refers to a 10 per cent. duty levied upon the profits obtained by the priests from calves offered for sacrifice at the temple : see also the introduction to P Tebt II. 307 (A.D. 208) and Wilcken Ostr. i. p. 384 f.

For ἐπιδέκατον = an ";extra tenth"; in connexion with fines, see P Hib I. 32.9 (B.C. 246) note. In Theb Ostr 30.6 (? B.C. 87) the word is probably used for a ";tithe"; simply.
