Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀπαρτισμός [page 53]
Two instances of this rare noun may be cited, one from P Catt verso iv. 25 (ii/A.D.) (= Chrest. II. p. 99) μέχρι τοῖ τῆς λογοθεσίας ἀπαρτισμοῦ till the completion of the audit, and the other from P Giss I. 67 .8 ff. (time of Trajan or Hadrian) η̣͗δη κα [τ ]ὰ τὰς ἐντολάς σου Ἡράκλειος ὁ ἐπίτρ [ο ]πο [ς χωρὶς τῶν ] ξενικῶν ξύλων τὸν ἀ̣παρτισ [μ ]ὸ [ν ] τῶν ἐπὶ [τό ]πω̣ν [ἔργων πρ ]ο̣̣ ὀφθαλμῶν ἔχει . But the verbal phrase εἰς τὸ ἀπαρτίζειν is so completely equivalent to εἰς ἀπαρτισμόν ( Luk_14:28 ) that the verb may be illustrated. P Oxy I. 117 .4, .7 (ii/iii A.D.) has the aor. pass. twice, the completing of a horoscope (?) and of a sale of slaves : cf. ib. VI. 908 .23 (A.D. 199) ὥστε ὑφ᾽ ἑκάστου ὑμῶν ἀρτοκοπεῖον ἓν ἀπαρτισθῆναι , that one bakery be fitted out by each of you (Edd.), ib. 936 .22 (iii/A.D.) οὐκ ἔχω ἄρτι σεῖτον οὐδὲ τὰ βιβλίδια ἀπήρ [τ ]ι̣σ̣ται ἒως ἄρτι , I have no food now, and the petitions have not yet been got ready (Edd.). P Oxy IV. 724 .11 (A.D. 155) ἐὰν δὲ ἐντὸς τοῦ χ [ρ ]όνου αὐτὸν ἀπαρτίσῃς οὐκ ἐκδέχομαι τὴν προκειμένην προθεσμ [ί ]αν if you make him perfect [in shorthand] within the period, I will not wait for the aforesaid limit (Edd.) is a close parallel to the NT use of καταρτίζω ( Gal_6:1 , 1Th_3:10 al. ). P Lips I. 105 .11 (i/ii A.D.) μ̣όγις τὸν τῆς βεβρεγμένης ἀπήρτισα , I have with difficulty completed the account of the irrigated land. BGU II. 448 .23 ff. (ii/A.D.) πρὸς τὸ τὴν π̣[ρ ]οα [ίρ ]εσ̣[ι ]ν τῶν [διαθεμέ ]νων φανερὰν [κ ]α̣ταστῆ [ναι καὶ ἕκασ ]τα ἀπαρτισθῆναι τοῖς ἐν [γ ]εγρα [μμ ]έν [ο ]ις ἀκολούθως . In P Catt verso iii. 13 (as cited above) we find the expression μετὰ τὴν χειροτονίαν ἐντὸς ε̄ ἡμερῶν ἀπαρτιοῦσιν τὰς δίκας . P Ryl II. 74 .4 (A.D. 133 5) shows the verb in a proclamation of M. Petronius Mamertinus, prefect of Egypt, where [τὸν διαλο ]γ̣ισμὸν ἀπαρτίσαι is rendered by the editors to complete the conventus. We could cite many more exx. : the relative frequency of the ἀπό and the κατά compounds of this verb in NT and papyri is quite reversed.
