Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Notwithstanding Field (Notes, p. 79) and Moffatt, it seems more than doubtful that in Luke 23:45 any reference is intended to an eclipse. To find such a reference is to involve the Evangelist in a needless blunder, as an eclipse is impossible at full moon, and to run counter to his general usage of the verb = ";fail"; (16.9, 22.32, cp. Hebrews 1:12). For this meaning cf. P Hamb I. 27.14 (B.C. 250) ἐ ̣άν τι αὐτῶν ἐγλιμπάνηι, P Leid Bii. 7 (B.C. 164) εἰς τὸ μηθὲν ἡμᾶς τῶν δεόντων ἐγλιπεῖν, and even ib. Wix. 6 (ii/iii A.D.) τὴν ὥραν ἐν ᾗ μέλλι (l. μέλλει) ἡ σελήνη ἐκλίπειν (l. ἐκλείπειν), ";horam in qua luna deficiet (in ariete)."; P Par 27.14 (B.C. 160) ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐν τῷ μεταξὺ διαλυόμεναι τῷ λιμῷ κινδυνεύομεν τὸ ἱερὸν ἐγλείπειν shows ἐ. followed by the acc. of place. In P Tebt I. 105.44 (B.C. 103) and 106.23 (B.C. 101) it is used of ";renouncing"; a lease—ἐγλιπεῖν τὴν μίσθωσιν : for a similar use of the subst. cf. P Lond 1166.6 (A.D. 42) (= III. p. 104) μεχρὶ ἐκλείψεως τῶν λουομ ̣ε ̣ν ̣ω (ν). From the inscrr. may be cited Syll 226.110 (iii/B.C.) ἐγλείπειν τὴν πόλιν, and OGIS 90.18 (the Rosetta stone—B.C. 196) τά τε ἐγλελειμμένα πάντα ἐν τοῖς πρότερον χρόνοις ἀποκατέστησεν εἰς τὴν καθήκουσαν τάξιν. On the form ἐγλείπειν see Mayser Gr. p. 227.
