Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἁλιεύς [page 22]
The word is too common in itself to need illustrating, unless we recorded the appearance of the epithet ποτάμιος to indicate a fisherman who exercised his calling on the Nile. It is, however, a good example of the rule by which in Hellenistic of the second period ( i.e. A.D.) two i -sounds are not allowed to come together : see Proleg. 3 p. 44 f. In this one case, in the nom. and accus. pl. of ἁλιεύς , dissimilation instead of contraction has taken place : ἁλεεῖς occurs in NT and in P Flor I. 127 15 (A.D. 256), but note 119 2 ἁλι [εῖς and 275 8 , from the same correspondence, and BGU IV. 1035 6 (v/A.D.). Of course P Petr III. 59 ii. 8 belongs to a period when the phonetic difficulty was not felt. Another expedient was ἁλιέας , P Flor II. 201 8 (iii/A.D.). Hellenistic does not follow the Attic contractions (Δωριῶς , -ῶν ) : cf. ἁλιέων BGU III. 756 6 (A.D. 199), Ἐριέως P Petr III. 59 ( d ) 14 . We find ἁλιείων in P Amh II. 30 29 (ii/B.C.).
