Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀμπελών [page 27] Nothing earlier than Diodorus (i/B.C.) in profane Greek is cited for this word by Grimm. It occurs in five documents of P Tebt I., three of them ii/B.C., and two a little later : cf. also the Ptolemaic P Eleph 14 .2 τῶν μὲν ἀμπελώνων τοὺς καθήκοντας ἀργυρικοὺς φόρους . Its appearance in P Hib I. 151 ( c. B.C. 250) is presumably coeval with the LXX; nor does the language (. . . μὴ παραγίνεσθαι . . . τρυγήσοντα τὸν ἀμπελῶνα , from a fragment of a letter) suggest that the word was new. It occurs indeed frequently in Rev L, a few years older still. For an instance contemporary with its NT appearances, see PSI 82 3 (A.D. 65) τῶι ὑπάρχοντι ἡ̣μ̣ῖ̣ν̣ . . . ἀμπελῶνι : cf. P Tebt II. 357 15 (A.D. 197) τέλ (η ) . . . ἀμπελῶνο (ς ) κατοικ (ικοῦ ) (ἀρούρας ) ᾱ , taxes upon 1 aroura of catœcic vine-land. The suffix -ών (like -̯ tum in Latin) denoting plantations of trees was productive in Hellenistic : see under ἐλαιών .
