ἀποθήκη [page 62] The word is by no means so common as might have been expected. In the Indexes to Oxyrhynchus Papyri I.-X. it is only noted once, namely P Oxy I. 43 verso iii. 29 (A.D. 295). See also BGU I. 32 .3 , ib. III. 816 .5 (iii/A.D.), and ib. 931 .2 (iii/iv A.D.) ἐμετρήθη ἀπὸ ἀποθήκης τῆς μέσης ἐλαίου μετρητὰς γ̄ these are the only occurrences in BGU I.-IV. In P Tebt II. 347 (a banking account, ii/A.D.) the word is repeatedly prefixed to different items, the sums so indicated being apparently deposited (in a bank?) (Edd.). Add Syll 734 .84 (Cos) μηδ᾽ ἀποθήκηι χρᾶσθαι τ [ῆι αὐλ ]ῆι τῆι ἐν τῶι ἱερῶι , and Chrest. II. 96 i. 6 (after A.D. 350), where counsel pleads that the defendant should give up Ό of δωρεᾶς καὶ ἀποθήκης , ἢ τὴν ἀποκατάστασιν ἡμῖν ποιήσασθαι τούτων : Mitteis (p. 116) explains these as donatio propter nuptias? and ein Geschδftsladen. Prof. Thumb notes that the noun survived in Romance (Span. bodega , Fr. boutique ) : this reinforces its ancient Hellenistic record.

ἀποθήκη [Etym: ἀποτίθημι] "any place wherein to lay up" a thing, "a barn, magazine, storehouse", Thuc. "anything laid by, a store", ἀποθήκην ποιεῖσθαι ἔς τινα to lay up "store" of favour with him, Hdt.

ἀπο-θήκη, -ης, ἡ (ἀποτίθημι), [in LXX for אוֹצָר, טֶנֶא, etc. ;] a storehouse, granary: Mat.3:12 6:26 13:30, Luk.3:17 12:18, 24.† (AS)
