The phrase in 1 Timothy 5:4 ἀμοιβὰς ἀποδιδόναι τοῖς προγόνοις, ";to make a fitting requital to one’s parents,"; is well illustrated by Priene 11217, where a certain Zosimus having received the title of citizen ";has made no fruitless return for the honour";—[οὐκ ἄκαρπον τὴν τῆς τιμῆς ] δέδειχεν ἀμοιβήν : cf. Cagnat IV. 293 ii. 39 (ii/B.C.) κομιζόμενος τῶν εὐεργεσιῶν ἀξίας τὰς ἀμοιβάς, Syll 3655 (i/A.D.) βασιλέων κἂν πάνυ ἐπινοῶσιν εἰς εὐχαριστίαν τηλικούτου θεοῦ εὑρεῖν ἴσας ἀμοιβὰς οἷς εὐηργέτηνται μὴ δυναμένων. In P Oxy IV. 70561 (A.D. 200–2) the Emperors Septimius Severus and Cara-calla reply to a certain Aurelius Horion who desired to confer benefactions on Oxyrhynchus—ἀποδεχόμεθά σε καὶ ταύτης ̣ τῆς ἐπιδόσεως ἣν ἀξιοῖς ἐπιδοῦναι ταῖς κώμαις τῶν Ὀξυρυγχειτῶν ἀποδιδοὺς ἀμοιβὴν ἐνκτήσεως, ";we approve of this benefaction also which you request leave to confer upon the villages of the Oxyrhynchite nome, giving (to different persons) a succession in the enjoyment of it (?)"; (Edd.). P Giss I. 226 (ii/A.D.) νυ ̣̑ν ὄντως ἀμοιβ [ὴ ]ν [ . . . ] τῆς εὐσεβείας μου ἀ [ναλ ]αμβανούσης σε ἀπρόσ [κοπ ]ον καὶ ἱλαρώτατον.
