Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The sense required for LXX, supported by Deissmann (see above s. v. διαδέχομαι) from P Tor I. 1i. 6, .15 (B.C. 116) (= Chrest. II. p. 30), can be explained from history, as Peyron showed in a note on P Lond 20.1 (B.C. 162) (= I. p. 9) Σαραπίωνι τῶν διαδόχων : see Kenyon’s summary ad loc. Applied originally to Alexander’s ";reinforcements,"; διάδοχοι came to denote a certain rank or privilege in the army of Alexander and his successors, the original meaning having disappeared. The noun not infrequently = deputy, that is a temporary ";successor."; So P Tebt II. 293.2 (c. A.D. 187) διαδόχου προφητείας, ";deputy prophet"; (Edd.), ib. 313.4 (A.D. 210–1) ἱερέως καὶ στολ (ιστείας) διαδόχου, ";priest and deputy stolistes,"; and OGIS 86.7 (B.C. 221–05) with Dittenberger’s note. In Acts 24:27 it has its original meaning : cf. the abstract διαδοχή, ";succession,"; as in P Petr II. 40 (a).15 (iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski.2, p. 41) ἑτοιμάζεται γὰρ ἡ διαδοχή, ";the relief is being equipped,"; P Tebt II. 302.28 (A.D. 71–2) τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀντὶ συ ]ντάξεως ἡμεῖν ἐκ διαδοχῆς γονέων τετηρημένην, ";by inheritance from our ancestors"; (Edd.).
