ἀποδοχή. Svil 371°! (Magnesia, i/A.D.) δεδόχθαι... τετιμῆσθαι... Tupavvov καὶ εἶναι ἐν ἀποδοχῇ τῷ δήμῳ. In 26. 65620F (Ephesus, ¢c. A.D. 148) an ἀγωνοθέτης named Priscus is styled ἀνδρὸς δοκιμωτάτου καὶ πάσης τειμῆς Kal ἀποδοχῆς ἀξίου. Field’s examples (ofes, p. 203) show how much of a formula this ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος (as r Tim 115) had become. The inscription is quoted, with other epigraphic examples, by Bishop Hicks in CX i. p. 4, from which may be selected OG/S 3391" (c. B.C. 120) τῆς καλλίστης ἀποδοχῆς ἀξιούμενος παρ᾽ αὐτῶι. Add Priene τοϑ3}5 (after B.c. 129), 10974 (c. B.C. 120) ἐν ἀποδοχῆι τῆι μεγίστηι εἶναι, ‘‘ to enjoy the highest esteem ” (see Fouillac, p. 39). The derivative ἀποδοχεῖον, which is found in the LXX, occurs in Rev L 317%, 32?, 5418 (p.c. 258), and is apparently to be restored in the much mutilated P Petr III 36 (4) ii 12 (B.C. 252) βουκόλῳν κ(ώμης) ἀποδοχίῳ[ι], “in the granary of the herdsmen’s village.” So P Hib I. 852 (B.c. 261). The phrase μετὰ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς (cf 1 Tim 115) occurs in Cagnat IV. 1448 (Cyzicus, i/A.p.), of the ‘general appreciation” of an act of the Princess Antonia Tryphaena.
