Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Par 63ix. 47 (ii/B.C.) ἀπόκειται γὰρ παρὰ θ [εοῦ ] μῆνις τοῖς μὴ κατὰ τὸ βέλτιστον [προαι ]ρουμένοις ζῆν : there is a suggestion of Romans 2:5. Closely parallel with the NT use of the verb is OGIS 383.189 (the important inscription of Antiochus I., the quasi-Zoroastrian King of Commagene in i/B.C.) οἷς ἀποκείσεται παρὰ θεῶν καὶ ἡρώων χάρις εὐσεβείας (see Dittenberger’s note). For a similar use of the simplex cf. Magn 115.15 (ii/A.D.) δ ]ιὰ ταῦτά σοι κείσεται μεγάλη χάρις ἐμ βασιλέως οἴκωι, and see ZNTW xv. p. 94 ff. With Hebrews 9:27 cf. Kaibel 416.6 (late, Alexandria) ὡς εἰδὼς ὅτι πᾶσι βροτοῖς τὸ θανεῖν ἀπόκειται : there are no signs of Christianity in the epitaph. A more literal use, serving as transition to the next, is in BGU IV. 1023.7 (A.D. 185–6) γραφὴ θεακῶν (l. γῶν : see reff. in Tebt. Pap. I. p. 616) καὶ τῶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἀποκειμένων. The word is common in the sense ";to be stored,"; e.g. P Oxy I. 69.5 (A.D. 190) ἀπὸ τῶν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἀποκειμένων, BGU. I. 275.9 (A.D. 215) ἐν η αὐλν ἐστὶν ἀποκειμένη μηχανή, P Tebt II. 340.13 (A.D. 206) αἱ καὶ ἀποκείμεναι ἐν θησ (αυρῳ) ἐπὶ σφραγῖδι Ἀμμωνίου, ";which are stored at the granary under the seal of A."; (Edd.), and P Lond Inv. no. 1885.7 (A.D. 114–5—published by Bell in Archiv vi. p. 102) τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ βιβλία ἀποκείμενα, documents ";housed"; in the βιβλιοθήκη ἐγκτήσεων.

In Deuteronomy 32:34 οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα συνῆκται παρ᾽ ἐμοί, καὶ ἐσφράγισται ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς μου, Symmachus substitutes ἀπόκειται for συνῆκται.
