Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";cross."; The metaph. use of σταυρός in Luke 9:23, ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν, finds an interesting illustration in a Christian prayer of iv/v A.D., P Oxy VII, 1058.2 ὁ θ (εὸ)ς τῶν παρακειμένων σταυρῶν, βοήθησον τὸν δοῦλόν σου Ἀπφοῦαν, ";O God of the crosses that are laid upon us, help thy servant Apphouas"; (Ed.). ";God is apparently thought of as at once the sender and mitigator of trials"; (Ed.). In P Lond 1917.6 (c. A.D. 330–40) the writer calls upon his correspondent—ὅπως ἐφάρῃς τὰς χῖράς σ [ου πρὸς τὸν δεσ ]πότην θαιὸν ὡς τοίπως σ ̣ταυρῷ, ";that you may lift up your hands to our Master God, in the semblance of a cross"; : see the editor’s note and cf. 19.

The sign of the cross is frequently prefixed to Christian letters, e.g. P Iand I. 16 (v/vi A.D.), and in the late P Lips I. 9010 (Byz.) the scribe states that he has written the document for the original sender, but that the latter has affixed three authenticating crosses with his own hand—ἔγραψα ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ γράμματα μὴ ἰδότος βαλόντος δὲ τῇ ἰδίᾳ αὐτοῦ χειρὶ τοὺς τρεῖς τιμίους σταυρούς †. A wall-scratching from Egypt, Preisigke 2273, shows Σταῦρος δῶν Χριστιανῶν.
