Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

δεκαδύο. 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 °., P Amh II. 475 (B.c. 113) πυροῦ ἀρτάβας δέκα δύο ἄτοκα. The only exception which Mayser (Gr. p. 316) has noted is P Vat F8! (Bc. 157). Similarly in inscriptions from about i/B.c. we find δεκαδύο, as well as δώδεκα, e.g. C/A 11. 476% (ii/i B.c.) δραχμὰς δέκα δύο : see Meisterhans G7. p. 159. In ostraca δώδεκα greatly predominates over δέκα δύο. In Proleg. p. 96n.* there is an unfortunate mistake, due to trusting Wellhausen: the mistake is copied in Thackeray Gr. i. p. 188 n}. ersten Evangelien', p. 11), “* Zwolf in D an den beiden Stellen, wo die Zahl ausgeschrieben ist (Mt τοῦδ, Lk 91’), (So far as one can tell, Wellhausen says (#7nlettung in die dret δεκαδύο und nicht δώδεκα heisst.’’ in the absence of an index, he has dropped the statement in ed.2) Asa matter of fact, ) has δώδεκα in Mt 92°, 111, Lk 913, Jn 613; 67.71, 119, Ac 19%. Not only D but W shows ϑέκα δύο (/e”, according to Sanders, p. 24). P Flor I. 141 (A.D. 264) has instructive differences between three scribes. The first writer mentions οἴνου δίχωρα δώδ[εκ]α.-- γ(ίνεται) ol(vov) δίχω(ρα) ιβ; 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 In P Lond 11717 (8.6. 8) (= III. p. 177) we cf. for gender τὰν SevHeroninus. find τῆς ιβμήνον, ‘the 12month” : τέραν ἑξάμηϊνον, Sy// 718® (i/B.C.). (Zc.) that δεκαδύο was a shortlived attempt to displace δώδεκα, much in vogue in the Ptolemaic age, but in LXX Δώδεκα stands Thackeray remarks only predominant in Chron and Judith. alone in MGr.
