Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Ryl II. 153.45 (A.D. 138–61) I have directed Eudaemon γράψαι ὑπὲρ ἐμο [ῦ ] τῆς ὑπογραφῆς τὸ σῶμα διὰ τὴν περὶ ἐμὲ ἀσθένιαν . BGU I. 229.3 (ii/iii A.D.) illustrates the practice of consulting the local oracle in times of difficulty or sickness—ἠ μὲν σοθήσωμαι (= εἰ μὲν σωθήσομαι ) ταύτης , ἧς (? for τῆς , or an extreme case of attraction) ἐν ἐμοὶ ἀσθενίας , τοῦτόν μοι ἐξένικον ( = τοῦτό μοι ἐξένεγκον ). P Lond 971.4 (iii/iv A.D.) (= III. P. 128) ἀδ ̣ύνατος γάρ ἐστιν ἡ γυνὴ διὰ ἀσθένιαν τῆς φύσε [ως . P Flor I. 51.5 (A.D. 138–61) σ ]ωματικῆς ἀσθ [ενεί ]ας , in an incomplete context. The prepositional phrase of Galatians 4:13 may be further illustrated by P Oxy IV. 726.10 (A.D. 135) οὐ δυνάμενος δι᾽ ἀ [σ ]θένειαν πλεῦσαι . Add BGU IV. 1109.11 (B.C. 5) τῆς Καλλιτύχης ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ διατεθείσης , and OGIS 244.10 (iii/B.C.) τὴν περὶ τὸ σῶμα [γε ]γενημένην ἀσθένειαν διὰ τὰς συνεχεῖς κακο [π ]αθίας , where the editor notes that there is no tautology, as κακοπαθία is to be understood in its later sense of laborious and troublesome work.
