μίσθιος [page 413] Deissmann s contention ( LAE, p. 72) that this word is not to be regarded as a specifically NT word, but as belonging to the ordinary Greek of the time, receives further confirmation from such a passage as P Amh II. 92 .19 (A.D. 162 3) οὐχ ἕξω δὲ κ [ο ]ινωνὸν οὐδὲ μίσθιον γ̣ε̣ν̣[ό ]μ̣ε̣νον τῆς ὠνῆς ὑποτελῆ . The editors translate, I will have no partner or servant who is liable on account of the contract, but Wilcken ( Chrest. I. p. 370 ) from its association with κοινωνόν prefers to take μίσθιον as = tenant, sublessee. The adj. is also found in P Flor III. 322 .21 (A.D. 258 ?) μίσθιοι ξδ̄ .
