Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For ή τροφός, which Paul uses with such effect in 1 Thessalonians 2:7 (cf. LXX Genesis 35:8, al.), note P Lond 951 verso.4 (late iii/A.D.) (= III. p. 213) where, with reference to a newly arrived infant the father-in-law or mother-in-law decrees—τ ]ὸ βρέφος ἐχέτω τροφόν · ἐγὼ γὰρ οὐκ ἐπ ̣ιτ [ρέ ]πω τῇ θυγατρί μου θηλάζειν. Cf. P Flor II. 179.2 (A.D. 263) Ἡραΐδι γενομένῃ τροφῷ ἀπόλυσον οἴνου δίχωρα δύο, and from the inscrr. BCH xvii(1894), p. 145 (B.C. 240).

In Kaibel 247.7 (i/ii A.D. ) τροφός = μήτηρ, but in Pelagia-Legenden p. 23.18 ἡ δὲ Πελαγία κάτω κύψασα ἐχωρίσθη τῆς ἑαυτοῦ τροφοῦ, the meaning must be simply ";nurse"; from the contrasted μήτηρ in the next line.

For a good ex. of a συγγραφὴ τροφῖτις or a contract entered into with the nurse (cf. Archiv i. p. 123) to supply her with the necessary τροφεῖα, see BGU IV. 1106 and the documents which follow : also P Oxy I. 37i. 10 (A.D. 49) (= Selections, p. 49) ἐγένετο ἐνθάδε ἡ τροφεῖτις εἰς. υἱὸν (cf. Acts 7:21, Hebrews 1:5) τοῦ Πεσούριος. τοῦ πρώτου ἐνιαυτοῦ ἀπέλαβεν τὰ τροφεῖα.

The Hellenistic τροφέω, which Phrynichus (ed. Lobeck, p. 589) views with such suspicion, is found in BGU III. 859.4 (ii/A.D,) ]τρόφησεν καὶ ἐτιθήνησεν ἡ τοῦ Ἀμμωνίου δούλη Δημητροῦς, and 22 (cf. Radermacher Gr. p. 84 f.).
