Vocabulary of the Greek NT

An early instance of this verb occurs in the interesting, but fragmentary, papyrus containing a royal edict regarding the constitution of one of the Greek cities in Egypt, P Hib I. 28.7 ( c. B.C. 265), where it is laid down with reference to the incorporation of the demes in the phratries—κ ̣[αὶ ] γνωρίζηται ὑπὸ τῶν φρατόρων θυέτωσαν, ";(in order that they may) be recognized by the members of the phratries, let them sacrifice"; (Edd.). Other examples are P Fay 121.18 (c. A.D. 100) καὶ τὸ δ ̣[έρ ]μ ̣α τοῦ μόσχου οὗ ἐθ ̣υ ̣[σ ]αμεν αἴτησον πα ̣[ρὰ τοῦ ] κυρτοῦ βυρσέως, ";ask the hunchbacked tanner for the hide of the calf that we sacrificed"; (Edd.), P Giss I. 3.7 (invitation to the festival on Hadrian’s accession—A.D. 117) τοιγαροῦν θύοντες τὰς ἑστίας ἀνάπτωμεν, BGU I. 250.5 (time of Hadrian) μόσχους τεθύκασι, ib. II. 463.6 (A.D. 148) τέλος μόσχ (ου) θυομέ (νου), Chrest. I. 116.2 (Sayings of Sansn̯s—ii/iii A.D.) σέβου τὸ θεῖον. θύε πᾶσι τοῖς θεοῖς, and from the libelli (see s.v. θυσία) BGU I. 287.7 (A.D. 250) (= Selections, p. 115) καὶ ἀεὶ θύων τοῖς θεοῖς διετέλεσα.
