Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In P Petr II. 4 (6).16 (B.C. 255–4) an official complains that on his way to work be had been hustled, and that, if care is not taken, he will be assaulted—δινὸν γάρ ἐστιν ἐν ὄχλωι ἀτιμάζεσθαι, ";for it is a dreadful thing to be insulted before a crowd"; (Ed.), and in ib. 45iii. 23 (B.C. 246) ἄλλος ὄχ [λος ἐστεφ ]ανωμένος is distinguished from various officials. A striking parallel to Mark 15:15 (noted by the editor) is afforded by P Flor I. 61.61 (A.D. 85) (= Chrest. II. p. 89), where the Egyptian Governor addresses a certain Phibion, who had been tried before him, in the words—ἄξιος μ [ ]ν ἦς μαστιγωθῆναι. . . χαρίζομαι δέ σε τοῖς ὄχλοις, ";you deserved to be scourged, but I hand you over to the multitude."; [Note the use of ὄχλος in the plur., as frequently in Mt (e.g. 4.25), with apparently the same meaning as the sing.] A Gnostic charm of iii/iv A.D., P Oxy XII. 1478.4, contains the invocation—δὸς νείκην ὁλοκληρίαν σ <τ >ασίου καὶ ὄχλου τῷ προκειμένῳ Σαραπάμμωνι, ";grant victory and safety in the race-course and the crowd to the aforesaid Sarapammon"; (Edd.). We hear of συναγωγαὶ ὄχλων in OGIS 383.151 (mid. i/B.C.), and the sing. is used of a ";mass"; of soldiers in Syll 318 (= .3700).23 (B.C. 117) συνεπελθόντος μετ᾽ αὐτῶν Τίπα τῶν Μαίδων δυνάστου μετ᾽ ὄχλ [ου π ]λείονος, cf. OGIS 544.19 (ii/A.D.) ἐν τῆι τῶν ὄχλων παρόδωι (with Dittenberger’s note).
