Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ῥοπή occurs as a v.l. for ῥιπή, ";a moment,"; in 1 Corinthians 15:52 D*EFG 67**. For the original meaning, ";a turn of the scale,"; as in. Sap 18.12, cf. P Par 63.73 (B.C. 165) (as read P Petr III. p. 24) συμβαλεῖται ῥοπὴν εἰς τὸ προκίμενον, ";it would turn the scale in favour of the matter in hand"; (Mahaffy), and P Tebt I. 27.79 (cited s.v. ἐνθυμέομαι). See also Aristeas 90 ῥοπῇ καὶ νεύματι, ";momenta temporis et ad nutum,"; Vett. Val. p. 301.1 αἱ στιγμαὶ ἢ ῥοπαὶ τῶν ὡρῶν, and Herodas VII. 33 with Headlam’s note.
