μίσθωμα [page 414] μίσθωμα is not so common as we might have expected, but for the meaning rent, hire. we may cite such a passage as Syll 831 (= .3 1200) .15 (iv/iii B.C.) ὑποτελεῖ δὲ μίσθωμα Νικήρατος Κτησιφῶντι καθ᾽ ἕκαστον ἐνιαυτὸν ἀργυρίου δραχμὰς πεντα [κ ]οσίας ἀτελεῖς : cf. ib. 615 ( = .8 1024) .38 ( c.

There seems to be no exact parallel to the usage in Act_28:30 , see Lightfoot Php_2:1-30 p. 9 n. .3 . For μίσθωσις , a letting for hire, cf. BGU III. 916 .15 (time of Vespasian) ἡ ] μίσθωσις ἥδ᾽ ᾖ (cf. Proleg. p. 178) εἰς ἐνιαυτὸν [ἕ ]να , P Fay 96 .12 (A.D. 143) (= Chrest.
