";firstborn."; As additional proof that this word is to be taken out of the list of purely ";Biblical"; words, Deissmann (LAE, p. 88) cites the undated pagan sepulchral inscr. Kaibel 460.4 ἱρεὺς γάρ εἰμι πρωτοτόκων ἐκ τελεθ [ῶν ?] (= τελετ [ῶν ] ?) ";for I am a priest by the rites of the firstborn,"; and notes that the editor suggests that in the family of the deceased the firstborn always exercised the office of priest. He also refers to a Christian metrical epitaph from Rome of ii/iii A.D. Kaibel 730.3 πρωτότοκον, διετές, with reference to a firstborn ";sun-child"; (ἡλιόπαις), i.e. child born on a Sunday, who died at the age of two years. Note further a sacrificial decree of c. B.C. 200, Syll 615 (=.31024).17, in which mention is made of ὗν ἐνκύμονα πρωτότοκον, and a decree of adoption of A.D. 381, P Lips 598.15 (=Archiv iii. p. 173) πρ [ὸ ]ς τὸ εἶναί σου υἱ [ὸ ]ν γνήσιον καὶ πρωτότοκον ὡς ἐξ ἰδίου αἵματος γεννηθέντα σοι, and the magical P Osl I. I.312 (iv/A.D.) λαβὼν πρωτοτόκου κριοῦ ὀμφάλιον.
