Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For ";light"; opposed to ";darkness,"; see P Leid Wvi. 44 (ii/iii A.D.) (=11. p. 101) φωτὸς καὶ σκότους. In the imprecatory corse Syll 891 (= .3 1240).20 the prayer is uttered that the victim shall enjoy μηδὲ οἴκου, μὴ φωτός, μὴ χρήσεως, μηδὲ κτήσεως. The plur. is applied to ";window-lights"; in P Lond 1179.62 (ii/A.D.) (= III. p. 146) φῶτα θυρίδων, and to ";torches,"; as in Act. 16:29, in BGU III. 909.15 (A.D. 359) ἐπελθόντες. . . τῇ ἡμετέρᾳ οἰκίᾳ καὶ φῶτα ἐπενεν ̣κ ̣[όν ]τες ἐνέπρησαν αὐτὴν ἐκ θεματίου. Cf. ib. IV. 1201.10 (A.D. 2) where φωτί takes the place of πυρί or φλογίεὕρωμεν τὰς θύρας τοῦ ἱεροῦ Σαράπειδος θεοῦ μεγίστου ὑφημένας (l. ὑφημμένας) φωτί. This last passage may illustrate Mar. 14:54 θερμαινόμενος πρὸς τὸ φῶς, where we should translate with the AV ";warmed himself at the fire"; : see C. H. Turner Comm. ad I. in Gore’s New Commentary.

The subst. is applied metaph. to those who impart light, as in Syll 888 (=.31238).2 (c. A.D. 160) where a wife is described as τὸ φῶς τῆς οἰκίας, and in P Ryl II. 77.34 (A.D. 192) μιμοῦ τὸν πα ̣[τ ]ε ̣ρα τὸν φιλότιμον τὸν [γ ]έρ ̣ον ̣τ ̣α φῶτα. See also the Christian sepulchral inscr. P Hamb I. 22.4 (iv/A.D.), where Christ is invoked—ὃς τυφλοῖσιν ἔδωκας ἰδεῖν φάος ἠελίοιο (cf. Mat. 9:27ff., al.), and the Christian amulet BGU III. 954.28 (vi/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 134)—

ὁ φῶς ἐκ φωτός, θ (εὸ)ς ἀληθινὸς χάρισον

ἐμὲ τὸν δοῦλόν σου τὸ φῶς.

Φῶς is naturally common in the magic papyri, e.g. P Lond 121.563 (iii/A.D.) (=1. p. 102) ἐν φωτὶ κραταιῷ καὶ ἀφθάρτῳ : cf. the verse of BGU II. 597.33 (A.D. 75) cited s.v. φωσφόρος.
