Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

κίνδυνος [page 344] In P Petr II. 13 (19) .10 (B.C. 258 3) Kleon writes to his father begging him to come and visit him at the time of the falling of the river, καθ᾽ ὃν χρόνον οὐθείς ἐστιν κίνδυνος . Another pleasing family illustration is afforded by the letter of Dionysius to his brother Hephaestion, P Vat A (B.C. 168) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 64 ff.), congratulating him on the news that he had been saved .7 ἐγ μεγάλων κινδύνων , and remind ing him (Hephaestion was ἐν κατοχῆι at the time in the Serapeum) that every one when he has been so saved .17 f. ὁπηνίκ᾽ ἂν ἐκ κινδύνων διασωθῆι , endeavours to come quickly and greet his wife and children and friends. We may contrast the menacing letter to a creditor, P Tebt II. 424 (late iii/A.D.), which ends .7 ff. ὡς ἐὰ̣ ( l. ἐὰ̣ν ) μὴ ἀποκαταστ̣ασίας [δ ]ὴ πέμψῃς [ο ]ἶδάς σου τὸ [ν ] κίνδυνον , so unless you now send discharges you know your danger (Edd.). For the phrase ἰδίῳ κινδύνῳ , at one s own risk, see P Lond 356 .4 (i/A.D.) (= II. p. 252, Selections , p. 59), P Oxy VII. 1024 .19 (A.D. 129), and P Ryl II. 90 .82 (early iii/A.D.) τῶν ἡμῶν κινδύνων ( l. τῷ ἡμῶν κινδύνῳ ), where the superfluous ν ἐφελκυστικόν should be noted (Moulton Gr. ii. p. II 3). And see P Tebt I. 105 .18 (B.C. 103), P Hamb I. 5 .18 (A.D. 89) for ἀκίνδυνος παντὸς κινδύνου , warranted against all risks, a good example of the gen. of definition ( Proleg. pp. 74, 235). MGr κίντυνος , κίδυνος .
