The three pastoral letters or epistles are books of the canonical New Testament: the First Epistle to Timothy (1 Timothy) the Second Epistle to Timothy (2 Timothy) and the Epistle to Titus. They are letters from Paul the Apostle to Timothy and to Titus. They are generally discussed as a group (sometimes with the addition of the Epistle to Philemon) and are given the title pastoral because they are addressed to individuals with pastoral oversight of churches and discuss issues of Christian living, doctrine and leadership. While the title is not technically quite correct in that the Epistles do not deal with pastoral duties in the sense of the cure of souls, yet it is popularly appropriate as denoting the essentially practical nature of the subject matter as distinguished from the other Epistles attributed to Paul. The term "pastorals" was popularised in 1703 by D. N. Berdot and in 1726 by Paul Anton.

Hapax Legomena

Hapax Legomena refers to words that occur only once within a context, either in the written record of an entire language (Hapax Absolute) or in the works of an author, or in a single text. New Testament Hapax Legomena are words found only in that body of work.
It is said in one source that there are 168 of these
 
1 Timothy has 82 such words
2 Timothy has 53 such words
Titus has 33 such words
 
This is above average for Paul's letters and sometimes great but questionable claims are made on the basis of these facts.

Another source goes for
1 Timothy 65,
2 Timothy 46
Titus 27
Another source quoted elsewhere on this blog says
Yet of
the 306 words not in Paul's letters, 175 are hapax legomena (only found once in the NT).

Of the 175 hapax legomena, 1 Timothy has 96, 2 Timothy 60 and Titus 43.
Some 75 occur only in 1 Timothy, 48 only in 2 Timothy and 30 only in Titus (Total 153).
Relatively few hapax legomena occur in more than one book: 9 in 1 and 2 Timothy, 10 in 1 Timothy and Titus, 1 in 2 Timothy and Titus. Only two appear in all three.
