Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In OGIS 331.58 (ii/B.C.) King Attalus II of Pergamon, writing to the Pergamenes, orders his rescript to be placed in the temples, ὅπως ἂν εἰς τὸν ἅπαντα χρόνον ἀκίνητα καὶ ἀμετάθετα μένηι : cf. ib. 335.73 (an Aeolic inscription, ii/i B.C.) [τὰ δὲ κρίθεντα ὐ ]π [ά ]ρξοισι κύρια καὶ ἀμετάθετα . A letter from Sufenas Verus in Lafoscade, no. 105.11 (A.D. 131) has βεβαιῶ ἐπί τε τῷ ἀσάλευτον [sc. τὴν δωρεὰν ] καὶ ἀμετάθετον εἰς τὸν ἀεὶ χρόνον εἶναι καὶ κτλ . P Oxy I. 75.15 (A.D. 129) ἐφ᾽ ᾗ [sc. διαθήκῃ ] ἀμεταθέτῳ ἀμφότεροι ἐτελεύτησαν , and ib. III. 482.35 (A.D. 109) διαθήκῃ , ἐφ᾽ ᾗ καὶ ἀμεταθέτῳ ἐτελεύτα (";which will was unchanged at his death";), show that the word was used as a technical term in connexion with wills. The connotation adds considerably to the force of Hebrews 6:17 f..
