Vocabulary of the Greek NT

BGU II. 530.36 (i/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 62) ἄλλως τε καὶ ἀπαιτῖται ὑπὸ τῶν πρακτόρων ἱκανόν, ";especially security is demanded by the taxgatherers"; : cf. P Fay 39.14 ff. (A.D. 183) ἐκ τίνος ἀπαιτεῖται τὸ προκείμενον ἀπότακτον, where the editors state that ἀ. ";may imply that the payment was in arrear or have a quite general meaning."; The former alternative is clearly implied in P Fay 11.20 (c. B.C. 115) ὁ ἐνκαλούμενος πλεονάκις ἀπῃτημένος [ο ]ὐχ ὑπομένει ἑκουσίως ἀποδιδόναι, ";the accused, though frequent demands have been made, persistently refuses to pay voluntarily"; (Edd.). Other examples of the verb, which is common, are P Flor I. 61.42 (A.D. 86–8) διὰ τί ἕως σήμερον οὐκ ἀπῄτησας, and again.51 ἐπεὶ σιτόλογοι ἦσαν καὶ ἀπῃτ [οῦ ]ντο εἰς τὸν Κ [α ]ίσαρος λόγον, P Lond 856.19 (late i/A.D.) (= III. p. 92) ο ̣̔ δ ̣ὲ λήμπτωρ ἀπαιτεῖ certain taxes, P Tebt II. 327.19 ff. (late ii/A.D.) οὐ δέοντως ἀπαιτοῦμα [ι ] τὰ ὑπὲρ τῶν ὑπαρχόν [τω ]ν τελούμενα δημόσια, ";demands have wrongfully been made upon me for the government dues payable on behalf of the property"; (Edd.) : a very similar phrase occurs in CPHerm 52i. 16. In P Oxy VIII. 1157.15 (late iii/A.D.) καὶ μάθε ὅτι τὸ ἐπεικεφάλαιον ἀπαιτοῦσιν ";find out also about the collection of the poll-tax"; (Ed.) : the idiomatic impersonal plural curiously contrasts with the translation Greek, showing the same word, in Luke 12:20. In the Christian letter P Oxy VI. 939.16 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 129) we have the phrase τοῦτο τοῦ καθήκοντος ἀ ̣π ̣[α ]ι ̣[τοῦντ ]ος, ";this being what duty demanded."; For the subst. see BGU IV. 1103.18 (B.C. 14) περὶ ἀπαιτήσεως τοῦ φερναρίου, P Oxy I. 104.28 (a will, A.D. 96) ἀπαίτη [σι ]ν ποιήσεσθαι, etc., and for the adj. ἀπαιτήσιμος various land-surveys of ii/B.C.—P Tebt I. 61, 64, 72. The noun ἀπαιτητής occurs in Wilcken Ostr 1460 (A.D. 185–6) δι᾽ ἐμοῦ Μάρκου. . . ἀπαιτ (ητοῦ).
