Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This strong word which AV renders ";infallible proof"; in Acts 1:3 may be illustrated by an Ephesian inscr. Syll 656 ( =.3 867).37 (c. A.D. 160), where it is mentioned as μέγιστον τεκμήριον of the σεβασμός accorded to the goddess Artemis that a month is named after her. Cf. also ib. 929 ( = .3 685).84 (B.C. 139) μέγιστον καὶ ἰσχυρότατον τεκμήριον, and P Tor I. 1iv. 11 (B.C. 116) μέγα τι συμβάλλεσθαι τεκμήριον, also viii. 32. In another Ptolemaic papyrus P Giss I. 39.9 (B.C. 204–181) τεκμήριον stands beside ὅρκος.

The editors render P Ryl II. 159.15 (A.D. 31–2) ἵν᾽ ὑπάρχωσι τῇ [Ταχόιτι αἱ παραχωρούμεναι ἄ ]ρουραι σὺν τοῖς ἄλλοις τε ̣[κμηρίοις. . ., ";in order that the arurae ceded may appertain to Tachois with all other titles"; (i.e. ";title-deeds";), but in their note they cite the parallel formula P Oxy III. 504.15 (early ii/A.D.) σὺν τοῖς ἄλλοις σημίοι ̣[ς, where the σημεῖα may possibly refer to ";boundary-marks."; It may be added that, according to Hobart p. 184, ";Galen expressly speaks of the medical distinction between τεκμήριον —demonstrative evidence—and σημεῖον, stating that rhetoricians as well as physicians had examined the evidence.";

For the verb τεκμαίρομαι, see P Ryl II. 74.5 (A.D. 133–5) where a prefect declares that time will not permit his carrying out two purposes—τεκμαίρομαι τὸν χρόνον οὐ ̣[χ ἱκανὸν εἶναι εἰ ]ς ἀμφότερα.
