Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For this verb in its ordinary NT sense of ";ask,"; see P Hib I. 72.15 (B.C. 241) ἀποσταλεὶς Ἀ. πρὸς τὸν [ἐν τῶι ] ἀδύτω ̣ι ̣ Χ. ἐπηρώτα εἰ ὑπάρχει ἐν τῶι ἱερῶι. . . ἡ σφραγίς, ";A. having been sent to Ch. in the sanctuary asked him if the seal was in the temple";; P Flor III. 331.3 (ii/A.D.) ἐπερωτώμενος ὑπ [ό ] σου περὶ τῶν ἐντὸς περιχώμα [τος ἀν ]αγραφομένων. . . προσφωνῶ ὡς ὑπόκειται. For a ";remarkably early example"; of the stipulatory formula ἑπερωτηθεὶς ὡμολόγησα cf. P Oxy VI. 905.20 (A.D. 170) (= Selections, p. 87) κυρία ἡ συνγραφὴ δισσὴ γραφεῖσα πρὸς τὸ ἑκάτερον μέρος ἔχειν μοναχόν, καὶ ἐπερωτη [θέν ]τες ἑαυτοῖς ὡμολόγησαν, ";the contract is valid, being written in duplicate in order that each party may have one : and in answer to the formal question they declared to each other their consent."; Other examples of the same formula (cf. Modica Introduzione, p. 128) are P Gen I. 42.31 (A.D. 224–5), P Fay 90.22 (A.D. 234), P Tebt II. 378.30 (A.D. 265) : in P Oxy X. 1273.41 (A.D. 260) we have—περὶ δὲ τοῦ ταῦτα ὀρθῶς καλῶς γείνεσθαι ἀλλήλους ἐπερωτήσαντ [ε ]ς ὡμολόγησαν, ";and to each other’s questions whether this is done rightly and fairly they have given their assent"; (Edd.). Cf. the technical use of the verb in P Oxy X. 1277.14 (A.D. 255) βεβαιώσω καὶ ἐπερώτημε (l.—μαι) ὡς πρόκειται, ";I will guarantee (the sale) and have been asked the formal question as aforesaid,"; and in the late P Iand 48.9 (A.D. 582) διὰ Μ ̣η ̣νᾶ οἰκέτου τοῦ ἐπερωτῶντος καὶ προσπορίζ (οντος) . . . τὴν ἀγογὴν καὶ ἐνοχήν with the editor’s note.
