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.
