Vocabulary of the Greek NT

With the use of this verb in Ephesians 6:4 we may compare P Ryl II. 178.14 (early i/A.D.), an agreement with a nurse, in which she states—τέθειμαι τὴν ὁμολογίαν καὶ ἐκθρέψωι τὸ δουλικὸν σωμάτιον Θερμουθάριον ἐπὶ τὰ δύο ἔτηι, ";I have made the agreement and I will nurse the infant slave Thermoutharion for the two years"; (Edd.), and the interesting inscr. from the southern cemetery at Karabunar (Calder, No. 8) in which a son commemorates his mother—τήν τε [οἰκί ]αν κυβερνήσασα ἀνενκλήτως καὶ τὸ παιδίον ἐκθρέψασα. See also Syll 326.34 (i/A.D.) τὸν μὲν ἐκθρέψαντα αὐτόν, and Menandrea p. 41.577 παιδία ἐκτρέφομεν.
