Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
βάπτω [page 103]
In P Tebt II. 287 .8 (A.D. 161 9) the fullers and dyers of the Arsinoite nome appeal against a tax that had been imposed upon their trades οἱ μέ ]ν̣ ε̣ἱ̣̓ [σι ]γναφεῖς ο [ἱ δὲ ]βαφεῖς τ̣ῂν̣ ἐργασίαν , δίδονται δὲ ὑπὲρ τέλους κτλ . For the τέλος βαφέων see also Ostr 700, 1068 (both ii/A.D.), and 1516 (ii/B.C.). In P Par 52 .10 , 53 .5 (B.C. 163 2) βαπτά = coloured garments : cf. P Oxy X. 1293 .24 (A.D. 117 38) εἰς βαφὴν ἐρ [ί ]δια , wool to be dyed. A late instance of the verb in this sense may be cited from P Iand 17 .7 (vi/vii A.D.).
The verb is restored by the editors in the uncanonical Gospel fragment, P Oxy V. 840 .43 ἐγὼ δὲ καὶ οἱ [μαθηταί μου ] οὓς λέγεις μὴ βεβα [πτίσθαι βεβά ]μμεθα ἐν ὕδασι ζω [ῆς αἰωνίου : cf. Epict. ii. 9. 20 ὅταν δ᾽ ἀναλάβῃ τὸ πάθος τὸ τοῦ βεβαμμένου καὶ ᾑρημένου , τότε καὶ ἔστι τῷ ὄντι καὶ καλεῖται Ἰουδαῖος , where βεβαμμένου seems to refer to baptism and ᾑρημένου to circumcision (see Sharp Epictetus and the NT , p. 134 f.).
