Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The verb is used in its ordinary classical sense of ";take to wife"; in a will of B.C. 285–4, P Eleph 2.8, where provision is made in the event of certain of the testator’s sons’ marrying and being divorced—γημάντων δὲ καὶ καταχωρισθέντων —the property will belong jointly to all his sons. Cf. for the same absolute use a question addressed by a man to the Oracle of Zeus-Helios-Sarapis, P Oxy IX. 1213.4 (ii/A.D.) ἀξιοῖ Μένανδρος [εἰ ] δέδοταί μοι γαμῆσαι , ";M. asks, is it granted me to marry?"; (Ed.). So P Flor III. 332.24 (ii/A.D.) ἐπεὶ δὲ νῦν Νῖλος ὁ υἱὸς αὐτῆς γαμεῖν μέλλει , and with object, Audollent 78 μήποτ᾽ αὐτὸν γῆμαι ἄλλην γυναῖκα . The use of γαμεῖσθαι to denote the bride’s part in a wedding has rather fallen out of use in Hellenistic, but it not infrequently survives in the legal language of marriage-contracts, e.g. P Oxy III. 496.5 (A.D. 127) ἡ [τῆς ] γαμουμένης μάμμη Θαὶς κτλ ., ib. VI. 905.10 (A.D. 170) (= Selections, p. 86) καὶ ὁ γαμῶν ἐπι ]χορηγείτω τῇ γαμουμένῃ τὰ δέοντα , and even P Lips I. 41.11 (about the end of iv/A.D.) where, with reference to the bridal gifts, the bridegroom, after the marriage has been completed, is described as οὐ τὰ ἑαυτοῦ ἐπικομιζόμενος μόνον , ἀλ ̣λ ̣α ̣̣ κ ̣α ̣[ί ] τινα ̣ [τ ]ῆς γη ̣[μ ]αμέν [η ]̓ : see further Proleg. p. 159. For the passive, cf. P Oxy X. 1266.16 (A.D. 98) τὴν δὲ τοῦ υἱοῦ μητέρα Θερμούθιον γεγαμῆσθαί μοι τῷ β ̄ (ἔτει ) Δομιτιανοῦ , P Grenf II. 76.11 (deed of separation—A.D. 305–6) ἀλλ᾽ ἐξεῖναι αὐτῇ ἀποστῆ [ναι .καὶ ] γαμηθῆναι ὡς ἂν βουληθῇ . Γαμετή , ";wife,"; is common—P Tebt I. 104.17 (B.C. 92) ὅσα προσήκει γυναικὶ γαμετῆι , PSI I. 64.4 (? i/B.C.) συνοικ [ήσουσά σοι ὡ ]ς γνησ ̣[ία ] γαμετή , P Oxy IV. 795.4 (A.D. 81–96) γ ]ᾳμετὴν φερνὴν προσφερομένην δα [κτύλιον ] χρυσοῦν τεταρτῶ [ν , and OGIS 206.9 Ἀκύλα . . . εὐξάμενος ῥῶσιν καὶ τέκνοις καὶ γαμετῇ . This noun and σύμβιος have considerably trenched on the ground of the less explicit γυνή .
