παιδάριον , -ου , τό , dimin . of παῖς , [in LXX chiefly for H5288 ;] a little boy, a lad (in late and colloq. Gk . the word seems to be used with greater latitude and even to lose its dimin. force entirely; cf. Tob_6:2-3 , and v. MM , xviii): Joh_6:9 .† SYN.: see παῖς G3816 .

παιδάριον [page 473] The latitude of this word, formerly a diminutive, is well seen in its record. In Syll 797 (= .3 1163) .5 (ii/B.C.) τὸ παιδάριον ὃ Ἀννύλα κύει is of course an unborn child, while in Tob_6:2 f. παιδάριον describes a young man who can drag on shore the magic fish that is to supply the safeguard for his marriage. In P Lond 43 .8 (ii/B.C.) (= I. p. 48, Chrest. I. p. 162 ) a mother congratulates her son and herself because he is learning Αἰγύπτια γράμματα and will soon be able to teach τὰ παιδάρια in a school : cf. P Par 49 .31 (B.C. 161 0) (= UPZ i. p. 309) ἀγωνιῶ , μήποτε ἀ [ρ ]ρωστεῖ τὸ παιδάριον , and P Lond 1171 .5 (B.C. 8) (= III. p. 177), where 12 drachmae are entered as paid παιδαρίωι ὑπάρνω ἀγέλη , implies a boy old enough to look after sheep. Παιδάριον is very common = slave, as in BGU IV. 1079 .15 (A.D. 41) (= Chrest. I. p. 84 ) ἐγὼ παιδάριν ( l. παιδάριον ) εἰμί , in an appeal to a Jewish money-lender : cf. P Amh II. 88 .27 (A.D. 128) (= Chrest. II. p. 162 ) δώσω . . . παιδα̣ρίοις τῶι μὲν ἐνεστῶτι (ἔτει ) πυροῦ (ἀρτάβης ) ἥμισυ , P Oxy IX. 1207 .10 (A.D. 175 6?) σπονδ [ῆς ] παιδαρίοις δραχμῶν ὀκτώ , ib. I. 117 .6 (ii/iii A.D.) τὴν [[καταγραφὴν ]]†πρᾶσιν τῶν παιδαρίων τῶν παιδαρίων τῶν παιδίων , the sale of the slaves children. and P Strass I. 6 .6 (A.D. 255 261) διὰ Κάστορος παιδ (αρίου ) with the editor s note. This may be the meaning of the word in Joh_6:9 (cf. Bauer HZNT ad l. ). See also Rostovtzeff, Large Estate , p. 177. For παιδαριώδης , childish, see s.v. ἐκδοχή . † In the print edition the word πρᾶσιν is written on a separate line directly above καταγραφὴν .
