For the use of νόμος c. gen. obj. to denote a particular ordinance as in Romans 7:2 ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ἀνδρός (";from that section of the statute-book which is headed ‘The Husband,’ the section which lays down his rights and duties"; SH), cf. Syll 828 (=.81198).14 (iii/A.D.) κα ]τὰ τὸν νόμον τῶν ἐ [ρανισ ]τῶν. See also P Rev Lxxv. 15 (B.C. 259–8) al. where the various cross-references from one section to another are marked by the phrase κατὰ τὸν νόμον (cf. the editors’ note, p. 91). Thieme (p. 30) illustrates the quasi-personification of ὁ νόμος in John 7:51, Romans 3:19, by Magn 92 a..11 (ii/B.C. ad init.) πάντων συντελεσθέντων, ὧ [ν ὁ νόμος ] συντάσσει, cf. b..16 πάντων συντελεσθέντων ὧν ὁ νόμος ἀγορεύει. The phrase ἐν νόμῳ γέγραπται is found in legal phraseology from iii/B.C. onwards, e.g. Magn 52.35 ὅ ]σα καὶ τοῖς τὰ Πύθια ἐπαγγελλόν [τ ]ε ̣σσι [ν ἐν ν ]όμῳ γέγραπται. For the expression νόμος βασιλικός in James 2:8 see s.v. βασιλικός ad fin. The inscr. is reproduced in OGIS 483. In a remarkable epitaph from Apameia, C. and B. ii. p. 538 No. 399 bis, provision is made that the grave shall not be disturbed in the following terms—ἰς ὃ ἕτερος οὐ τεθῆ, εἰ δέ τις ἐπιτηδεύσι, τὸν νόμον οἶδεν [τ ]ῶν Εἰουδέων. According to Ramsay, the reference must be not to the law of Moses, but to some agreement made with the city by the resident Jews for the better protection of their graves. For a detailed study of νόμος used qualitatively in the Pauline Epistles we may refer to Slaten Qualitative Nouns, p. 35 ff. Norden (Agnosias Theos, p. ii n..2) points out how readily Paul’s teaching in Romans 2:14 ff. ὅταν γὰρ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ νόμον ἔχοντα φύσει τὰ τοῦ νόμου ποιῶσιν, οὗτοι κτλ. would be understood in view of the ἄγραφος νόμος of the Greeks (cf. R, Hirzel Abh. d. Sächs. Ges. d. Wiss., phil.-hist. Kl. xx. 1900). See also Ferguson Legal Terms, p. 64.
