Bernhardy (1829) Syntax, p. 230; Meyer on 1Co_12:27.) b. any particular, German Stück (where the writer means to intimate that there are other matters, to be separated from that which be has specified): ἐν τῷ μέρει τούτῳ, in this particular i. e. in regard to this, in this respect, 1Pe_4:16 R; 2Co_3:10; 2Co_9:3; with a genitive of the thing, Col_2:16 (where see Lightfoot); τοῦτο τό μέρος, namely, τῆς ἐργασίας ἡμῶν (branch of business), Act_19:27, cf.

μέρος [page 398] The varied applications of μέρος , which we find in the NT, can all be illustrated from the vernacular, (1) The meaning of a part assigned to one, as in Rev_22:19 , is seen in P Strass I. 19 .5 (A.D. 105) τοῦ ὑπ̣άρχον̣τ̣ος αὐτῶι μέρ [ο ]υ̣ς̣ ἑνὸς ἀ̣πὸ μερω̣ν ἐννέα , and the Christian P Heid 6 .17 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 126) παρακαλῶ [ο ]ὖν , δέσποτα , ἵνα μνημον [ε ]ύῃς μοι εἰς τὰς ἁγίας σου εὐχάς , ἵνα δυνηθῶμεν μέρος τῶν (ἁμ )αρτιῶν καθαρίσεως , I beseech you, master, to remember me in your holy prayers, that I may be able (to receive) my part in the cleansing of sins. (2) For μέρος = the constituent part of a whole, as in Luk_11:36 , cf. P Petr II. 13 (3) .2 (B.C. 258 3) τὸ πρὸς νότον [τ ]οῦ ὀχυρώματος τεῖχος , μέρος μέν τι αὐτοῦ πεπτωκός ἐστιν , the wall to the south of the prison, part of it has fallen (Ed.), BGU IV. 1123 .8 (time of Augustus) διαιρεθήσεται εἰς μ̣ε̣[ρη ] ἴσα καὶ ὅμοια τρία , P Ryl II. 145 .14 (A.D. 38) ἔδωκεν πληγὰς πλείους εἰς πᾶν μέρος τοῦ σώματος , and P Hamb I. 54 i. 14 (ii/iii A.D.) ἰς τὰ ἄνω̣ μέρη with reference to the upper reaches of the Nile. Similarly with Mat_15:21 cf. P Leid M i. 8 (ii/B.C.) (= I. p. 59) οἰκίας . . . τῆς οὔσης ἐν ἀπὸ νότου μέρει Διοσπόλεως τῆς μεγάλης , and with Act_23:6 , where the word has the force of party, cf. P Oxy X. 1278 .24 (A.D. 214) ἕκαστον δὲ μέρος π [α ]ραδοῦν [αι ἑ ]κ̣α̣τέρῳ τὸν αὐ [τ ]ὸν περιστερεῶνα , each party is to deliver to the other the said pigeon-house, P Flor I. 47 .17 (A.D. 213 17) where an ἀντικαταλλαγή is written out in four copies εἰς τὸ παρ᾽ ἑκατέρῳ μέρει εἶναι δισσήν , and the late P Lond 1028 .18 (vii/A.D.) (= III. p. 277) τοῦ πρασίνου μέρ (ους ), the green faction. (3) Μέρος in the sense of branch or line of business, as in Act_19:27 (cf. .25 ), is seen in P Flor I. 89 .2 (iii/A.D.) (as amended Berichtigungen , p. 147) δικαιοδο̣[της διέ ]πων τὰ μέρη τῆς διοικήσεως . (4) For the derived sense of matter ( 2Co_3:10 ; 2Co_9:3 ) cf. P Ryl II. 127 .21 (A.D. 29) διὸ ἀξιῶι συντάξαι τῷ τῆ (ς ) Εὐημερείας ἀρχεφόδωι ἀναζητῆσαι ὑπὲρ τοῦ μέρους , wherefore I request you to order the archephodus of Euhemeria to inquire into the matter, and similarly ib. 140 .17 (A.D. 36) : see also Menandrea , p. 69 .107 τὸ τοιουτὶ μέρος ( all this kind of thing ) | οὐκ ἀκριβῶς δεῖ φρ [άσαι ] σοι , and p. 10 .17 . (5) From this again we have the meaning nature, as in P Tor II. 8 .35 (ii/B.C.) καθ᾽ ὃ ἂν μέρος ἢ εἶδος παρασυνγραφῆς , quaecumque demum fuerit natura aut species infractionis (Ed.), see the note on p. 58, apud Polybium τοῦτο τὸ μέρος saepe est hoc, haec res ; rei ergo intimam substantiam ac rationem significat. (6) Adverbial phrases are very common, e.g. (a) ἀπὸ μέρους ( 2Co_2:5 ) in BGU IV. 1201 .15 (A.D. 2) εὕροσαν ἀπὸ μέρους τὰς θύρας κατακεκαυμέν [ας , they found the doors partly burnt down, P Tebt II. 402 .2 (A.D. 172) λόγος ἔργου ἀπὸ μέρ [ο ]υς γενομένου πρὸς τῷ πλινθουργίῳ , account of the work partially done at the brick-factory (Edd.), and P Oxy XIV. 1681 .9 (iii/A.D.) ἀπὸ μέρους πεῖραν , partial proof ; (b) ἐκ μέρους ( 1Co_12:27 ) in P Lond 1166 .14 (A.D. 42 ) (= III. p. 105) ἔν τι̣[νι ἡμέ ]ρᾳ ἢ ἐγ μέρους ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ , BGU II. 538 .35 (A.D. 100 101) παραδό (= ώ )σομεν τὸν κλῆρον ὡς καὶ ἐγ μερους παρειλήφαμεν , and P Ryl II. 233 .6 (ii/A.D.) τὰ μέλαθρα . . . ἐκ μέρους σήμερον ήρμολόγηται , the beams have to-day been partly fixed ; (c) κατὰ μέρος ( Heb_9:5 ) in P Tebt I. 6 .24 (B.C. 140 139) τῶν κατὰ μέρος ἐθνῶν , the several associations, ib. II. 382 .24 (B.C. 30 A.D. I) ὀμνύο . . ποιήσειν πάντ [α ] τὰ [κ ]ατὰ δύο μέρηι ἀπὸ μερῶν πέντε ἐπειμερείζειν δὲ . . ., I swear that I will perform all that pertains to the two shares out of five shares and will divide . . .. : cf. Cic. ad Att. xiii. 22. 2 τὰ κατὰ μέρος , of a detailed account. MGr μέρος , part, side, region, locality.
