Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Of the nominative of this word (ϝ αρήν, declined according to the primitive model still normal in Sanskrit, and traced in κύων κυνός, caro carnis, etc.), we have no occurrences except in early times (Attic, Coan and Cretan inscriptions) : see Searles, Lexicographical Study (Chicago, 1898), p. 21. The oblique cases, although there is only one occurrence in the NT (Luke 10:8 ἄρνας) are by no means obsolete in the Κοινή : thus α ̣̓ρ ̣νός P Tebt I. 117.85 (B.C. 99), and even P Lond 125 verso.2 (magical, v/A.D.) (= I. p. 123) αἵματι ἀ [ρ ]νὸς μέλανος; ἄρνες P Hib I. 32.11 (B.C. 246); ἄρν (ασι) P Amh II. 73.5 (A.D. 129–30); ἄρνας BGU I. 133.8 (ii/A.D.), PSI 40.3 (A.D. 129), P Oxy I. 74.2 etc. (A.D. 116); PSI 56.8 (A.D. 107) ἄρνες, and so P Hawara 322.6 (Antoninus) (in Archiv v. p. 394). Mayser’s instance from P Magd 21.4 must be dropped : see the new edition. Kaibel 1038.38 (Attalia, an oracle of Cybele) ]ς ἄρνα [ς ] κα [τ ]έχουσι λύκοι : cf. Luke 10:3. The replacing of this irregular noun by the only formally diminutive ἀρνίον is normal. The distinction in use between this word and ἀμνός seems beyond our power to trace : van Herwerden (s.v. ἀρήν) cites a grammarian who makes this a lamb less than a year old, ἀμνός one over a year.
