Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Oxy XII. 1453.18 (B.C. 30–29) τὸ καθῆκον ἔλαιον εἰς τοὺς καθ᾽ ἡμέραν λύχνους καομένους ἐν τοῖς σημαινομένοις ἱεροῖς,";the proper oil for the daily lamps burning in the temples signified"; (Edd.), P Tebt II. 273.15 (medical prescription—ii/iii A.D.) χαλκοῦ κεκαυμένου (δραχμὴ) α ̄, the magic P Lond 46.154 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 70) ἐγώ εἰμι οὗ τὸ στόμα καίεται δι᾽ ὅλου, and PSI I. 28.60 (iii/iv A.D. ?) καομένη πυρουμένη βασανιζομένη γοργονία. With the usage in Luke 24:32 we may compare the new erotic fragment P Grenf I. 1i. 9 (ii/B.C.) συνοδηγὸν ἔχω τὸ πολὺ πῦρ τὸ ἐν τῆι ψυχῆι μου καιόμενον, and the citation from the same papyrus s.v. κατακαίω. On the possibility of explaining the different renderings in this Lukan passage as due to a single Syriac original in three stages of corruption cf. W. C. Allen in JTS ii. p. 299. For flexions (e.g. 2 Peter 3:10) see Moulton Gr. ii. § 95. MGr καίω, καίγω, κάβω : for the metaphorical sense cf. καγμός, ";longing,"; ";desire,"; ";pain.";
