Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀνθρώπινος [page 43] This significant adj. is found in Wilcken Ostr. ii. no. 1218 (Rom.) μέλη ἰαικὰ ( l. ἰατρ .) ἀνθρώπι (να ), with reference apparently to certain healing charms. In wills of the Ptolemaic period ἀνθρώπινόν τι πάσχειν is the stereotyped form for to die, e.g. P Petr I. 11 .9 ff. (the will of a cavalry officer) ἐὰν δέ τι ἀνθρώπινον πάθω καταλείπω τ [ά μοι ὑπάρχοντα ἐγ ] τοῦ βασιλικοῦ καὶ τὸν ἵππον καὶ τὰ ὅπλα κτλ . : cf. also the important marriage contract P Gen I. 21 .15 (ii/B.C.) ἐὰν δέ τις αὐτῶν ἀνθρώπινόν τι πάθῃ καὶ τελευτήσῃ κτλ ., and BGU IV. 1149 .34 (a loan B.C. 13) ἐὰν δὲ συνβῇ τὸν δοῦλον διαδρᾶναι η̣̃καὶ παθεῖν τι ἀνθρώπινον , καὶ οὕτως εἶναι τὰ ὀφιλόμενα ἀκίνδυνα κτλ . So P Tebt II. 333 .11 (A.D. 216), Syll 633 .13 (Rom. note the unusual present πάσχῃ ), etc. Various uses of the adj. are illustrated in Syll : thus 347 .8 (B.C. 48), an Asian decree in honour of Julius Caesar, τὸν ἀπὸ Ἄρεως καὶ Ἀφροδε [ί ]της θεὸν ἐπιφανῆ καὶ κοινὸν τοῦ ἀνθρωπίνου βίου σωτῆρα , 365 .10 ( c. A.D. 37) a grandiloquent adulatory oration from Cyzicus θεῶν δὲ χάριτες τούτῳ διαφέρουσιν ἀνθρωπίνων διαδοχῶν , ᾧ ἢ νυκτὸς ἥλιος κτλ ., 462 .30 (iii/B.C., Crete) καὶ θί [νων ( divine ) κ ]αὶ ἀνθρωπίνων πάντων (cf. 722 .33 ), 463 .132 (late iii/B.C.) οἱ ἐ [ρ ]ευταὶ οἱ τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων , the comptrollers of secular revenues . The strong pervading antithesis with divine in the uses of this word lends emphasis to such a phrase as ἀ . κτίσις in 1Pe_2:13 (where see Hort). It is MGr.
