ἀγγεῖον is found in P Tor I. 1ii. 6 (ii/B.C.) for the ";casket"; or ";chest"; in which plaintiffs in the court of the Chrematistae, or Greek judges of Egypt, were in the habit of placing their petitions (Archiv iii. p. 26 ff.). See also P Gen I. 74.8 ff (probably iii/A.D.) διὸ ἐρωτηθεὶς ἐκλαβὼν ἀντίγραφον καὶ βαλὼν εἰς ἀγγῖον σφράγι [σ ]ον : similarly in Syll 790.43 (i/B.C.) of oracular πινάκια, which are put εἰς ἀγγεῖον and sealed (κατασφραγισάσθωσαν) with various officers’ seals. In BGU I. 248 (ii/A.D.) a note is added on the margin—χρῆσον Σαβείνῳ ἀνγεῖον, εἰς ὃ κόμιζέ μοι ἔλαιον, where ἀ. is a jar for oil, as in Matthew 25:4 : cf. P Oxy VII. 1070.30 (iii/A.D.) ἀνγείῳ ἡμιχόῳ, P Hamb I. 23.34 (A.D. 569) μεστὰ ἀγγῖα τρια ̣κοντα, P Lond 1036.9 (vi/A.D.) ( = III. p. 269) οἴνο (υ) ἀγγῖον μέγα ἕν, P Leid Wiii. 8 ἀ. μέλιτος μεστόν.
The form ἄγγος, which is found in the true text of Matthew 13:48, may be illustrated from Michel 1361.4 f. (Thasos, iv/B.C.) ἢν δέ τις ἐγβάλλη [ι τῶν δούλων κόπρον, ὥστε ] τὸ χωρίον εἶναι τὸ ἄγγος τοῦ ἀναιρερημένου τὸν κῆπο [ν ] κτλ. The word is used of a cinerary urn (as in Herod. i. 113) in CIG 3573.
