Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The distinction between ἄργυρος ";s. ver"; and ἀργύριον ";silver used as money,"; which in classical Greek has exceptions on both sides, is generally observed in NT : ἀργύριον in 1 Corinthians 3:12 and ἄργυρος in Matthew 10:9 are the only clear exceptions. In the papyri ἄργυρος is as rare as ἀργύριον is ubiquitous. It figures frequently in P Leid X, a very long document dealing with metallurgical subjects (iii/iv A.D.). P Par 60 bis.32 (c. B.C. 200) has ἀργύρου στατήρων, and BGU III. 992ii. 5, .10 (B.C. 160) χαλκοῦ πρὸς ἄργυρον, but in P Lips I. 64.27 (iv/A.D.) ἄ (ργ)υ ̣ρον (curiously abbreviated) is ";Geld";. Silver as a metal is thus the prevailing sense in the few occurrences we can report from papyri, while ἀργύριον for money appears many hundred times. The differentiation affects a well-known compound in C. and B. no. 300.14 (ii. p. 466—Apamea) ἀργυριοταμιεύσαντα for ἀργυροτ. There are sundry derivatives of ἄργυρος, of which we might mention ἀργυρώνητος, occurring in P Saïd Khan 1a. 16 (B.C. 88) τὴν ἀ. ἄμπελον, P Lond 198.11 (A.D. 169–77) (= II. p. 173), BGU IV. 1105.21 (B.C. 11) καθυβρίζει καὶ τὰς χεῖρας ἐπιφέρων χρῆται ὡς ο ̣ὐ ̣δ ̣ε ̣̣ ἀργυρ ̣ω ̣ν ̣η ̣τ ̣ωι ";treats me as he would not treat a thing he had bought";—the reading is not certain. In the LXX the disparity between the frequency of ἄργυρος and ἀργύριον is just what it is in papyri. In MGr ἄργυρος is the metal.
