Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
πάροδος [page 495]
With this NT ἅπ . εἰρ . ( 1Co_16:7 ), cf. PSI IV. 354 .8 (B.C. 254 3) ἐστὶν δὲ ἐν παρόδωι . See also OGIS 544 .19 (ii/A.D.) ἐν τῆι τῶν ὄχλων παρόδωι , with Dittenberger s note. The LXX use of the word passer-by, traveller (e.g. 2Ki_12:4 [MT 2Sa_12:4 ]), is found in an epigram of the Imperial period cited by Deissmann LAE p. 296, where an old man Chrysogonus is represented as
παντὶ λέγων παρό -
δω· πεῖνε , βλέπις
τὸ τέλος ,
saying to each passer-by, Drink, for thou seest the end .
Cf. also Kaibel 236 .9 f. (ii/i B.C.)
μᾶλλον δὲ κλαύσας , πάροδε , τὴν ἐμὴν τύχην
βαῖν᾽ οὗ φίλον σοι καὶ τύχοις ὅσων θέλεις ,
rather having bewailed, passer-by, my fate, go where it is pleasant for you, and may you obtain all that you wish!
In an account of early ii/A.D. , P Amh II. 126 .54 , there are included παροδίων (δραχμαὶ ) ρ̄ , and in P Lond 318 .2 (A.D. 156 7), 330 .5 (A.D. 164) (= II. p. 87 f.) παρόδιον (not in LS 8 ) is understood by the editor as a pass or permit to travel. For the adj. παρόδιος cf. P Tebt I. 45 .22 (B.C. 113) τὴν παρόδιον θύραν , the street door, and so ib. 47 .14 , and for the verb παροδεύω (as in Sap 1:8) see Kaibel 810 .11
μή με μάτην , ξεῖνοι , παροδεύετε , γειτνιόωσαν
πόντῳ καὶ Νύμφαις Κύπριδα καὶ Βρομίωι ,
i.e. subsistite viatores fruituri quae ab mari, ab fonte, a Baccho vobis bona parata sunt (Ed.).
