Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ὑπερηφανία [page 653]
For the sense haughtiness, arrogance, as in Mar_7:22 , cf. Aristeas 262 πῶς ἂν μὴ τραπείη τις εἰς ὑπερηφανίαν ; how should one keep oneself from pride? , and ib. 269. The verb is similarly used in P Flor III. 367 .12 (iii/A.D.) πλούτῳ γαυρωθεὶς [καὶ ] πολλῇ χρημάτων περιουσίᾳ ὑπ [ερη ]φανεῖς τοὺς φίλους , but has a weakened sense in P Oxy XIV. 1676 .16 (iii/A.D.) ἀλλὰ πάντως κρείττονα εἶχες· διὰ τοῦτο ὑπερηφάνηκας ἡμᾶς , but you doubtless had better things to do; that was why you neglected us (Edd.). See also the intrans. use of the verb in BGU I. 48 .19 (iii/A.D.) ἐὰν ἀναβῇς τῃ ἑορτῇ , ἵνα ὁμόσε γενώμεθα , καὶ μὴ ὑπερηφανήσῃς .
