Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

πέμπτος [page 502] It is hardly necessary to illustrate this word, but, as showing the housing conditions of the time, we may cite P Fay 31 .15 ( c. A.D. 129) where a woman applies to keepers of the archives at Arsinoe for leave to alienat πέμπτον μέρος , the fifth part of certain house property belonging to her. In the Gnomon 79 (= BGU V. 1. p. 31) it is laid down that in every temple (ἱερόν ) where there is a shrine (ναός ) there must be a prophet, who shall receive τῶν προσόδων τὸ π̣[έμ ]πτον . For the form πέμτος cf. Ostr. 3 .3 , 4 .4 (both A.D. 17 18), and see Mayser Gr. p. 166.
