Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Legal and Governmental Terms Common to the Macedonian Greek Inscriptions and the New Testament: With a Complete Index of the Macedonian Inscriptions
This treatise is intended to present an inductive study of the legal and governmental terms common to the Macedonian inscriptions and the New Testament. The purpose of this investigation is to obtain, from the usage of these words in the inscriptions, any available infor mation which may throw light upon their interpretation in the New Testament. The object is not to make an exhaustive investigation of the meaning and usage of these words in the whole field of Greek literature, nor yet to carry the investigation into the New Testament itself, but rather to furnish to the student of the New Testament some additional data with which to approach his task of interpreting these technical terms in the Scriptures.
The method has been to quote in Greek the statement in which the word under consideration occurs; to indicate to what time and place the inscription belonged; to give a translation or a paraphrase of a sufficient portion of the immediate context to enable the reader to understand the shorter passage quoted in Greek; and then to make an inductive study of the terms selected, in every inscription in which they occur.
