";buy"; (for the form, see Rutherford NP p. 210ff.), is confined in the NT to a citation from the LXX in Acts 7:26. The verb is very common in our sources, e.g. P Tor I. Iv. 7 (B.C. 116) (= Chrest. II. p. 35) ἐώνητο παρὰ Ἑλήκιος. . . πήχεις οἰκοπεδικοὺς ἕπτα ἥμισυ, P Gen I. 20.6 (B.C. 109) ἣν (sc. μερίδα γῆς) ἐωνήσατο ἐγ βασιλικοῦ, BGU IV. 1146.8 (B.C. 19) ἧς ἐώνηνται παρ᾽ αὐ [τοῦ, 1188.19 (A.D. 13) βούλομαι ὠνή (σασθαι) . . . ξύλα ἐξηραμμέ (να), ";I wish to purchase some dried logs"; (Ed.), P Tebt II. 410.6 (A.D. 16) χάριν οὗ παρορίζεται ὑπὸ γίτονος ε ̣̓ω ̣ν ̣η ̣μ ̣ε ̣ν ̣ου τῶν γιτνιωσῶν αὐτῷ, ";on account of the encroachments being made on him by a neighbour who has bought some of the adjoining property"; (Edd.), P Oxy I. 78.12 (iii/A.D.) ἔνανχος ἐωνημένος παρά τ (ινος ?) τὰς ὑπογεγραμμένας (ἀρούρας), ";having lately bought from some one the hereinafter described land (?)"; (Edd.), and ib. VI. 914 8 (A.D. 486) διαφόρων βαμμάτων [ὧν ἐ ]ώνημαι παρὰ σοῦ, ";various dyes which I have bought from you.";
The subst. ὠνητής occurs in P Cairo Zen III. 59393.2 (iii/B.C.) ὠνητής περὶ τοῦ ἵππου τοῦ μεγάλου, ";purchaser of the big horse,"; and for ὠνή, cf. P Oxy III. 486.7 (A.D. 131) τὸν καθήκοντα τῆς ὠνῆς δημόσι [ον χρημα ]τισμόν, ";the regular official contract of the safe,"; (Edd.).
Reference may also be made to the Delphic inscr. of B.C. 200–199, Syll 845.14 where, with regard to the manumission of a slave, the words occur— τὰν τιμὰν ἀπέχει. τὰν δὲ ὠνὰν ἐπίστευσε Νίκαια τῶι Ἀπόλλωνι ἐπ᾽ ἐλευθερίαι, ";the price he (viz. the previous vendor) hath received. The purchase, however, Nicaea hath committed unto Apollo, for freedom."; See Deissmann LAE2 p. 323 ff., where the usage referred to is discussed as illustrating the Pauline conception of Christian freedom.
