Vocabulary of the Greek NT

With the use of the verb in OGIS 73 (see s.v. εὐλογέω), cf. ib. 74 (from the Thebaid—B.C. 247–221) Θεοῦ εὐλογία · Θεύδοτος Δωρίωνος Ἰουδαῖος σωθεὶς ἐκ πελ (άγ)ους. See also Preisigke 317 Εὐλογία Κυρίου, and from Christian times the vase inscr. ib. 1117 Εὐλογία τοῦ ἁγίου Μηνᾶ. The subst. is used as a Christian title of address in P Lond 891.16 (iv/A.D.) (= III. p. 242, Chrest. I. p. 157) a letter to a Bishop—γινώσκει (ν) σε βούλομαι, ὦ ἀγαπητὲ πάτερ, ὅτι ὅτε ἀπήντησα τῷ δουκὶ μετὰ τῆς Εὐλογία [ς σου, ἐ ]δέξατο αὐτήν κτλ. For εὐλογία in the sense of a ";good report"; cf. P Oxy I. 65.4 (iii/iv A.D.) εἰ δὲ ἔχετε εὐλογίαν τινὰ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀνέρχεσθε ἅμα αὐτῷ καὶ λέγετε, ";if you have anything to say in his favour, come with him and tell me"; (Edd.) : cf. Aristeas 161. The adj. is found = ";reasonable,"; ";probable,"; in P Tor I. 1v. 2 (B.C. 117) οὐθενὸς εὐλόγου ἀντεχόμενον : cf. OGIS 504.8 (A.D. 128–9), 669.10 (i/A.D.), and for the adverb P Oxy IV. 718.28 (A.D. 180–192).
