Vocabulary of the Greek NT

On the general subject we have included everything under the noun above. The verb is used as a ";vox sollennis"; in P Petrie II. 11 (2).3 (mid. iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski.2, p. 6) ἀπογέγραμμαι δὲ ἐπὶ τελώνιον τὸ οἰκόπεδον κτλ., ";I have registered as subject to tax the site bringing 17½ dr. rent."; So P Oxy I. 36ii. 11 (ii/iii A.D.), where, in connexion with the payment of customs, it is laid down that ἐὰν μὲν εὑρεθῇ τ [ι ] ἕτερον ἢ ὃ ἀπεγράψατο, στερήσιμον ἔστω, ";if anything be discovered other than what was declared, it shall be liable to confiscation."; If not, the τελώνης had to repay to the merchant the cost of unloading his ship for examination. It is usually the middle voice that is employed—a fact not unconnected with the personal responsibility already noticed. But in P Ryl II. 103.17, .20 (A.D. 134) we have ἀπεγρά (φη), [ἀπεγ ]ρά [φ ]ησαν, as against ἀπεγράψατο (-αντο) in other places in the document : the former simply gives the fact of the registration, which indeed in one case, that of a slave’s child, was effected by the head of the family.

With the use of the verb in Hebrews 12:23 may be compared Apoc. Pauli (ed. Tischendorf), p. 39 f. : γνῶτε, υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὅτι πάντα τὰ πραττόμενα παρ᾽ ὑμῶν καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ἄγγελοι ἀπογράφονται ἐν οὐρανοῖς.
