ἀνεψιός [page 42] This word, which in Greek writers is regularly applied to cousins german whether on the father s or on the mother s side (see Lightfoot on Col_4:10 ), may be illustrated from P Lond 1164 ( k ) .20 (A.D. 212) (= III. p. 167) το̣, καταλειφθὲν ὑπὸ [το ]ῦ κατὰ πατέρα μου ἀνεψειοῦ Ἰσιδώρου and P Tebt II. 323 .13 (A.D. 127) μετὰ κυρίου τοῦ ἑαυτῆς κ [α ]τὰ μητέρα ἀνεψιοῦ Ὀρσέως . Preisigke 176 (reign of M. Aurelius) has ἀνεψιὸς πρὸς πατρός and πρὸς μητρός . See also P Oxy I. 99 .3, .18 (A.D. 55), P Fay 99 .5 (A.D. 159), BGU II. 648 .9 (A.D. 164 or 196), and from the inscriptions OGIS 544 ? (ii/A.D.), where, however, the editor notes, Graecos non distinguere fratres patrueles et consobrinos, sed utrosque aeque ἀνεψιούς appellare. Phrynichus (ed. Lobeck) p. 306 praises ἀνεψιός as against the form ἐξάδελφος , which is found in the LXX ( Tob_1:22 ; Tob_11:18 ) and in Christian writers. Both occur in MGr, ἀνιψιός for nephew, and ἐξάδερφος for cousin (male). The fem. ἀνεψιά may be cited from PSI 53 .145 (A.D. 132 3) ἐπιγέγραμμαι [τῆς ἀν ]εψιᾶς μου κύριος . Ἀνεψιάδης , cousin s son, occurs in Preisigke 176 (see above).
