δεκαδύο, rare in the earlier writings, frequent in the later (see Passow, under the word δέκα (especially Sophocles Lexicon, under the word; cf. Winers Grammar, 23 (22); Lightfoot on Gal_1:18)), and in the Sept.; equivalent to δώδεκα, twelve: Act_19:7 and , in both places L T Tr WH δώδεκα; (Rev_21:16 Tdf. editions 2, 7). STRONGS NT 1177b: δεκαέξ [δεκαέξ, sixteen: Rev_13:18 L marginal reading (the Sept., others.)] STRONGS NT 1177a: δεκαοκτώ [δεκαοκτώ for δέκα καί ὀκτώ, eighteen: Tdf. in Luk_13:4; Luk_13:11, but WH omits; L Tr brackets καί; cf. under the word καί, I. 1 b.]

δεκαδύο [page 139] In the Ptolemaic papyri this is the regular form, e.g. P Petr II. 27(1) .5 (B.C. 236) ἐκ μετρητῶν δεκαδύο , and so .6, .8 , P Amh II. 47 .5 (B.C. 113) πυροῦ ἀρτάβας δέκα δύο ἄτοκα . The only exception which Mayser ( Gr. p. 316) has noted is P Vat F .31 (B.C. 157). Similarly in inscriptions from about i/B.C. we find δεκαδύο , as well as δώδεκα , e.g. CIA II. 476 .31 (ii/i B.C.) δραχμὰς δέκα δύο : see Meisterhans Gr. p. 159. In ostraca δώδεκα greatly predominates over δέκα δύο . In Proleg. p. 96 n. .3 there is an unfortunate mistake, due to trusting Wellhausen : the mistake is copied in Thackeray Gr , i. p. 188 n .1 . Wellhausen says ( Einleitung in die drei ersten Evangelien .1 , p. 11), Zwφlf in D an den beiden Stellen, wo die Zahl ausgeschrieben ist ( Mat_19:28 , Luk_9:17 ), δεκαδύο und nicht δώδεκα heisst. (So far as one can tell, in the absence of an index, he has dropped the statement in ed. 2 ) As a matter of fact, D has δώδεκα in Mat_9:20 ; Mat_11:1 , Luk_9:12 , Joh. 6:13; 6:67; 6:71, 11:9, Act_19:7 . Not only D but W shows δέκα δύο ( ter , according to Sanders, p. 24). P Flor II. 141 (A.D. 264) has instructive differences between three scribes. The first writer mentions οἴνου δίχωρα δώδ [εκ ]α γ (ίνεται ) οἴ (νου ) δίχω (ρα ) ῑβ̄ ; the second, who endorses it, writes δώδεκα ; the third writes a receipt for δίχωρα [δε ]καδύο . The last is a φροντιστής or superintendent of inland revenue, and unless a big hand is evidence (see under γράμμα ) no less educated than Alypius or his correspondent Heroninus. In P Lond 1171 .7 (B.C. 8) (= III. p. 177) we find τῆς ιβμήνου , the 12month : cf. for gender τὰν δευτέραν ἑξάμη [νον , Syll 718 .9 (i/B.C.). Thackeray remarks ( l.c. ) that δεκαδύο was a shortlived attempt to displace δώδεκα , much in vogue in the Ptolemaic age, but in LXX only predominant in Chron and Judith. Δώδεκα stands alone in MGr.
