Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For this adj. (James 3:13, cf. Deuteronomy 1:13; Deuteronomy 4:6), which carries with it a certain idea of ";expert"; knowledge, see P Oxy XII. 1469.12 (A.D. 298) ἀεὶ γὰρ ὁ δημόσιος γ [εω ]μέτρης ἐπιστήμων ὢν τῶν τόπω [ν ] αὐτ ̣ω ̣̑ν κτλ., and cf. the use of the subst. in P Fay 106.22 (c. A.D. 140) οἱ τὴν ἰατρικὴν ἐπιστή [μην ] μεταχειριζόμενοι, ";those practising the profession of physician,"; P Oxy VI. 896.5 (A.D. 316) ζωγράφου τὴν ἐπιστήμην, ";a painter by profession."; In Vett. Val. p. 211.18 τὸ γὰρ θεῖον βουληθὲν προγινώσκειν ἀνθρώπους τὰ μέλλοντα εἰς φῶς προήγαγε τὴν ἐπιστήμην, δἰ ἧς τὸ καθ᾽ αὑτὸν ἕκαστος προγινώσκων εὐθυμότερος μὲν πρὸς τὸ ἀγαθόν, the editor defines ἐπιστήμη as ";mathesis."; The noun survives in MGr = ";knowledge,"; ";science.";
