With ἐκδίδομαι = ";let out for my advantage"; may be compared the sense of ";apprentice"; found in the papyri, e.g. P Oxy II. 275.6 (A.D. 66) (= Selections, p. 55) ὁ μὲν Τρύφων ἐγδεδόσθαι τῷ Πτολεμαίῳ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ υἱὸν Θοῶνιν, ";T. (agrees) that he has apprenticed to P. his son Th.,"; P Tebt II. 385.3 (A.D. 117) ἐξέδοτο Τεφερσάεις. . . τὸν ἑαυτῆς υἱον Κρονίωνα, ";T. has apprenticed her son C."; Similarly the fragment of a marriage-contract, dated A.D. 74–5, P Oxy II. 372, begins ἐξέδοτο Ταοννῶφρις (the mother of the bride) : so P Giss I. 2i. 8 (B.C. 173), BGU IV. 1100.5 (time of Augustus), P Oxy X. 1273.1 (A.D. 260), and often. Cf. P Oxy II. 237vii. 28 (A.D. 186) τῆς παιδὸς τῆς ἐκδεδομένης, ";a daughter given in marriage."; For the form ἐξέδετο, as in Mark 12:1 and parallels (cf. Exodus 2:21 A), see PSI IV. 288.8 (ii/A.D.) ἀποχὴν ἡμ [ε ]ῖν ἐξέδετο. The general sense ";issue,"; ";give out,"; appears in P Petr III. 43(2) versoii. 6 ἐξεδόθη, and P Tebt II. 397.1 (A.D. 198) ἐξεδό (θησαν), both of the giving out of certain contracts : so P Ryl II. 163.16 (A.D. 139) ἡ π ]ρᾶσις κυρία. . . ἣν καὶ ἐξεδό [μην σοι δισσήν (?), ";this deed of sale is valid, and I have issued it to you in duplicate"; (Edd.), PSI III. 204.16 (A.D. 140) διὰ τραπέζης ἐγδώσω ̣ of a receipt, P Fay 34.5 (A.D. 161) ἐκδῶναι σύμβολα, ";to issue receipts."; For the use of the subst. ἔκδοσις in marriage-contracts, see Chrest. II. i. p. 216, and on ἐκδόσιμα = official copies, see the editors’ note on P Oxy III. 494.25. An unexplained term ἀπέγδοσις is found in P Petr II. 13 (4).2 (B.C. 258–3). The corresponding εἰσδίδωμι, hitherto almost unknown, is now well attested : see LS.9, Mayser Gr. p. 489, and similarly ib. p. 438 for εἴσδοσις. See ἔκδοτος, infra.
