Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In P Leid Wvi. 49 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 101) we have a spell—ὄφιν ἀποκτεῖναι, ";to kill a serpent."; In P Lond 122 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 116) Hermes is invoked under his various shapes and titles, e.g. .11ἐν τῷ βορεᾷ μορφὴν ἔχεις ὄφεως. For the name ascribed to Satan cf. a Christian amulet not later than Justinian, Kaibel 1140 b.2—

φεῦγ᾽ ἀπ᾽ ἐμῶν μελέων, ὄφ [ι ], πῦρ, Βελιὰρ κ [ακό ]μορ [φ ]ε.

The MGr φίδι has assumed the diminutive suffix and become neuter.
