Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἅρμα. P Petr. II. 25(a)® εἰς ἅρματα τὰ ἀκολουθοῦντα αὐτῶι. OGTS 5331 (i/B.C.) ἁρμάτων καὶ κελ[ή] τ)ων. A/agn 127" (i/B.c.) ἅρματι τελείωι. A half-literary citation from P Giss I. 3 may be permitted in view of the interest of the document, which is a call to celebrate the accession of Hadrian. The sun-god Phcebus Apollo is the speaker, and announces himself as having just come from accompanying Trajan on high in his white-horsed chariot— “Ἄρματι λευκοπώλωι ἄρτι Τραϊαν[ῶι] συνανατείλας ἥκω σοι, ὦ δῆμ[ε], οὐκ ἄγνωστος Φοῖβος θεὸς ἄνακτα καινὸν ᾿Αδριανὸν ἀγγελῶν].
