Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";covetousness,"; in P Par 63.68 (B.C. 164) (= P Petr III. p. 24) μηδεμιᾶς ἐν τούτοις μήτε φιλοτιμίας, μήτε πλεονεξίας γενηθείσης keeps company with φιλοτιμία, which here represents a ";grasping ambition"; : cf. PSI V. 446.9 (A.D. 133–7) τὸ δὲ στρατ [ι ]ωτικὸν ἐπὶ πλεονεξίᾳ καὶ ἀδικίᾳ λ ̣α ̣μ ̣βά [ν ]εσθαι συνβέβηκε. In Musonius p. 72.9 (ed. Hense) it is linked with βία —ἅπερ ἀπὸ βίας καὶ πλεονεξίας πέφυκε ζῆν, and in ib. p. 90.10 it accompanies ἡδονή —ὁ θεὸς. . . ἀήττητος μὲν ἡδονῆς, ἀήττητος δὲ πλεονεξίας, a remarkable parallel to the NT association with sins of the flesh, based on a saying of Jesus (Mark 7:22) and repeated by at least three different NT writers (1 Corinthians 5:10, Hebrews 13:4 f. , 2 Peter 2:14). Bunyan’s instinct rightly made Pickthank name together among Beelzebub’s friends ";my old Lord Lechery, Sir Having Greedy, with all the rest of our nobility."; See also Exp T xxxvi. p. 478 f.

That πλεονεξία is a true vernacular word may be illustrated by its appearance in the illiterate P Fay 124.24 (ii/A.D.) μετάμελόν σ [ο ]ι πάλειν εἰσο [ίσ ]ει ἡ πλεονεξ [ί ]α σου, ";your cupidity will again cause you regret"; (Edd.) : cf. P Oxy XII. 1469.4 (A.D. 298) ἐπείπερ ἐὰν πλεονεξία τις προχωρήσῃ καθ᾽ [ή ]μῶν δι᾽ ἀδυναμείαν ἀνα ̣πο ̣στατοι καταστη [σ ]όμεθα, ";since, if any advantage of us is taken, our weakness will leave us no escape"; (Edd.)—a petition of certain village-representatives against a subordinate official, and ib. I. 67.19 (A.D. 338) εἵν᾽ οὕτως διχθῇ [αὐ ]τῶν ἡ καθ᾽ ἡμῶν [πλεο ]νεξία, ";in this way their aggression against me will be made clear"; (Edd.)—a dispute concerning property. For the word in a good sense cf. Epict. ii. 10. 9. In Syll 418 (= .3 888).133 (A.D. 238) πλεονεκτήματα are simply ";advantages,"; with ἐλαττώματα in antithesis.
