AUQENTEW

  I am an undergraduate senior working on an exegetical study of I Tim. 
Chapter two.  I have run up against AUQENTEW as used by Paul in the 
(in)famous passage concerning the role of men and women.  In my search for a 
good synchronic and diachronic meaning for the word I have had little luck.  
The entry in Liddell and Scott mentions only one usage which may antedate I 
Tim: a papyrus fragment from Egypt housed in Berlin.  I believe that this is 
what BAGD alludes to when it mentions a "well attested Egyptian law" but I 
am uncertain.  Thus my questions:

1) Can anyone help me get my hands on the elusive BGU (Berliner greichische 
Urkunden)?
2) Am I missing any other pre-Pauline usages in other Greek literature?

Thanks in advance,
Heath R. Curtis
