Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The strong sense of ἀ. in Romans 10:21, ";contradict,"; ";oppose"; may be illustrated by P Oxy VIII. 1148.5 ff. (i/A.D.) where an oracle is consulted as to whether it is better for a certain man and his wife μὴ συμφωνῆσαι νῦν τῷ πατρὶ α (ὐτοῦ) ἀλλὰ ἀντιλέγειν καὶ μὴ διδόναι γράμματα, ";not to agree now with his father, but to oppose him and make no contract"; (Ed.). A somewhat weaker usage appears in Syll 52331 (iii/B.C.) ἐὰν δὲ οἱ γραμματοδιδάσκαλοι ἀντιλέγωσιν πρὸς αὑτοὺς περὶ τοῦ πλήθους τῶν παίδων, ib. 540.48 (ii/B.C.), ἐὰν δὲ πρὸς αὑτοὺς ἀντιλέγωσιν οἱ ἐργῶναι περί τινος τῶν γεγραμμένων. Cf. also P Oxy I. 67.10 (a dispute regarding property, A.D. 338) ει᾽ πρὸς τὴν τῶν. . . οἰκοπ [έ ]δ [ων ] ἀποκατάστασιν. . . οἱ ἐ [= αἰ ]τιαθ [έν ]τες ἀντιλέγοιεν, ";if the accused persons protest against the restoration of the estates"; (Edd.), ib. X. 1252 verso.87 (A.D. 288–95) ἀντιλέγοντες ἔρρωνται, ";persist in their refusal"; (Edd.), and ib. II. 237 v. 13 (petition of Dionysia, A.D. 186) ̣ὁ ̣δὲ παρὼν ἀναγνωσθέντος τοῦ βιβλειδίου πρὸ βήματος ἐσιώπησεν, οὐδὲν ἀντειπεῖν δυνά [με ]νο [ς ] : so CPHerm 7 i. 15 (? ii/A.D.) εἰ δὲ θέλετε ἑτέραν γενέσθαι οὐκ ἀντιλέγω, οὐ γὰρ δύναμαι.
