With this NT ἅπ . εἰρ . ( 1Ti_5:14 ) = bear a child, we may compare the similar comp d. τεκνοποιέομαι in the marriage contract P Eleph 1 .9 (B.C. 311 10) ( = Selections , p. 3), where the husband is bound down μηδὲ τεκνοποιεῖσθαι ἐξ ἄλλης γυναικός , not to beget children by another woman. In UPZ i. 4 .5 (B.C. 164) ἕνεκ [α ] τοῦ . . . τεκνοπ [ο ]ήσασθα (= θαι ) αὐτήν , the meaning is adopt (cf. Wilcken s note). See also s.v . τεκνογονία .
