Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἄντικρυς [page 47] Thackeray, Gr. p. 136, notes its use for opposite ( 3Ma_5:16 , Act_20:15 ) as late : see his note on these words with movable -ς . Cf. P Oxy I. 43 verso iii. 20 (A.D. 295) καταμένων ἄντικρυς οἰκίας Ἐπιμάχου . P Tebt II. 395 .4 (A.D. 150) ἄντικρυς Τυχαίου , opposite the temple of Fortune, P Oxy III. 471 .81 (ii/A.D.) ἄντικρυς ἁπάντων , in the presence of all. P Loud 978 .8 (A.D. 331) (= III. p. 233) καὶ κατ᾽ ἄντικρυ [ . . . is before a hiatus. The (Attic) compound καταντικρύ (ς ) occurs in Apoc Petr 6, εἶδον δὲ καὶ ἕτερον τόπον καταντικρὺς ἐκείνου αὐχμηρὸν πάνυ , καὶ ἦν τόπος κολάσεως , over against that other. In P Hawara 116 verso .2 .11 (= Archiv v. p. 385 f.) (Antoninus Pius) we read ἀντικ [ρὺ Τυχαίου ] : clearly this may as well have been ἄντικρυς .
