A Lexical Study of the Septuagint Version of the Pentateuch

επαύριον
This word, synonymous with αΰριον, (the) 'next' (day), is
found in the Koine from the third century B.C. onwards: 15
PHamb. 1.27.4 (250 B.C.) τήι δέ έφαύριον αυτόν έπεζήτουν,
e.g.
PLille 15.2 (242 B.C.). It also occurs in Plb. (3.53.6, etc.),
and the NT. In the Pentateuch it is found a number of times:
e.g. Ge. 19.34, EX. 9.6 τή επαύριον, Le. 23.11 τή επαύριον τής
πρώτης.
αΰριον nevertheless remains the usual word (for examples in
iii B.C. papyri see Kiessling), and is the commoner of the two
in the Pentateuch.
καταγίγνομαι ('dwell')
Ex. 10.23 πάσι δέ τοις υίοΐς Ισραήλ ήν φώς έν πάσιν, οΐς
κατεγίνοντο, Nu. 5.3, De. 9.9. First in Test. ap. D. 21.22,
Teles p. 19.3,5 (Hense). In papyri e.g. PMagd. 9.3 (iii B.C.)
υπάρχει έμοί 'Ισιείον ..., δ συμβέβηκεν πεπονεκέναι και δια
τούτο μή δύνασθαι έν αύτώι καταγίνεσθαι, PTeb. 5.175 (118 B.C.).
Cf. Anz, Subsidia 354.
περί ζωμα
A type of garment, though its precise nature is uncertain.
It presumably refers to an apron-like undergarment, fastened
around the waist. UPZ 121.12 (ii B.C.) περί τό σώμα χλαμύδα
('mantle', 'cloak') καί περίζωμα, PRev. 94.7 (iii B.C.) (broken
context). It is used of a cook's apron in Hegesipp. Com. 1.7
(iii B.C.). Cf. also Plb. 6.25.3, where it describes a light
undergarment contrasted with a cuirass. The word is found in
the Pentateuch in Ge. 3.7 εποίησαν έαυτοίς περιζώματα ( ~ t\~\>n ).
The translators probably based their rendering on the etymology
of the Hebrew word.
συλλαλέω ('converse with')
The word is not found before the third century B.C., and
was obviously formed after λαλέω had become established as the
ordinary word for 'speak'. It is common in papyri of the
15. On the origin of it see Bl. DF §§12.3, 233.3.
