Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
δοχή [page 170]
This word in its NT sense of entertainment is read by Schubart (see Berichtigungen , p. 5) in BGU III. 815 .7 ὁ Σωκρ [ά ]της ὁ προ [κου ]ράτορ μου κόπους [τινὰ ]ς πα [ρ ]έχῃ περὶ τῆς [δο ]χῆς (pap. [ . . ] λ̣ης ). The derivative δοχικός may be quoted as adj. from P Ryl II. 85 .14 (A.D. 185) [μέτρῳ δημο ]σίῳ δοχικῷ , measured by the official standard, and as a neuter noun ib. 200 .5 ff. (A.D. 111 2) (πυροῦ ) δοχ (ικῷ ) by receiving measure (Edd.). See the long note, P Hib I. p. 228 f., on the ratio of an artaba ἀνηλωτικῷ , by spending measure, to one δοχικῷ , the former being .1 / 20 larger. In ib. 87 .18 (B.C. 256 5) the same is called μέτροις παραδ [ο ]χικοῖς . Δοχή itself is common, in accounts : see e.g. index to P Tebt I.
