Vocabulary of the Greek NT

BGU IV. 1208.46 (B.C. 27) μεταπε [μ ]φθ ̣εὶς ὑπὸ σοῦ ὁ [Καλατ ]ύτις ἐξηγή [σατό μ ]οι ἀκεραίως (";afresh";), OGIS 763.38 (ii/B.C.) μετὰ πλεί ]ονος σπουδῆς διελέχθησαν ἐξηγο [ύμενοι σύμπαν ]τος τοῦ πλήθους πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἐκτενε [στάτην τε καὶ ] εἰλικρινῆ τὴν εὔνοιαν : cf. Syll 660.4 (iv/B.C.) καθότι Σκιρ [ίδα ]ι ἐξηγούμενοι εἰσφέρουσι (sc. εἰς τὸν δῆμον), where the editor notes ";Sciridarum gens ius habet de iure sacro respondendi (ἐξηγεῖσθαι), ut apud Athenienses Eumolpidae."; Numerous exx. of the technical use of the verb, and of its corresponding subst. to denote the communication of divine and other secrets are given by Wetstein ad John 1:18, e.g. Pollux VIII. 124 ἐξηγηταὶ δὲ ἐκαλοῦντο οἱ τὰ περὶ τῶν διοσημείων καὶ τὰ τῶν ἄλλων ἱερῶν διδάσκοντες. See also the combination of the offices of ἱερεύς and ἐξηγητής in P Oxy III. 477.4 (A.D. 132–3) and the discussion on the varied duties of the ἐξηγητής in Hohlwein L’Égypte Romaine, p. 224 ff., and in Archiv iii. p. 351 f. Ἐξήγησις, at first written ἐξέτησις (i.e. ἐξαίτησις), occurs in the magic P Lond 122.73 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 118). MGr ἐξηγῶ, ";explain.";

[Supplemental from 1930 edition]
