Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀπόκρισις. Syld 27638 (Lampsacus, ¢. B.C. 195). + - ὅταν παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ λ]άβωσιν ἀποκρίσεις τὰς ἁρμοζούσας τί. . ., 70. 177% (Teos, B.C. 303) οἰόμεθα δὲ [δεῖν ἀποδειχθῆ]ναι τρεῖς ἄνδρας εὐθὺς ὅταν [ἡ] ἀπόκ[ρι]σις ἀναγνωσθῆι, 16. 314° (11,8... Messenian dialect) ἔδοξε τοῖς συνέδροις ἀπόκρισιν δόμεν διότι κτὰ.» 25. ο2831 (Magnesia, ii/B.c. ἐγ24.) τὴν Μυλασέων ἀπόκρισιν to the praetor M. Aemilius. From the papyri we can only cite P Oxy VI. 941° (vi/A.p.), and other late exx.: like the verb, this word for ‘‘ answer” clearly suffered eclipse, and returned into the language at a late period.
