ἀντίτυπος, ον (since Anaximander pre-Socr.; Theognis 2, 1244; Aeschyl., Septem 521, also IG XIV, 1320; Esth 3:13d v.l.; Philo) of someth. that corresponds to another; esp. used metaph.

① pert. to that which corresponds to someth. else, adj. corresponding to (Polyb. 6, 31, 8 ἀντίτυπος τίθεμαί τινι I am placed opposite) someth. that has gone before (τύπος, cp. the oracular saying in Diod S 9, 36, 3 τύπος ἀντίτυπος and Ex 25:40). In a compressed statement, with rescue through water as the dominant theme ὸ̔ (i.e. ὕδωρ) καὶ ὑμᾶς ἀ. νῦν σῴζει βάπτισμα baptism correspondingly now saves you, i.e. the salvation of Noah and family via water (διʼ ὕδατος), which supported the ark, is the τύπος for the salutary function of the water of baptism 1 Pt 3:21. A Platonic perspective (s. 2, below) is not implied in the passage.—PLundberg, La Typologie Baptismale dans l’ancienne Église, ’42, 110ff; ESelwyn, The First Epistle of St Peter, ’46, 298f; BReicke, The Disobedient Spirits and Christian Baptism, ’46, 144f. LHurst, JTS 34, ’83, 165–68, argues for the same mng. Hb 9:24 (s. 2 below).

② subst. τὸ ἀ. copy, antitype, representation (ISyriaW 1855; pap, e.g. POxy 1470, 6; PYadin 23, 24 al.; Plotin. 2, 9, 6 [ὁ ἀ.]; Proclus on Pla., Cratyl. p. 76, 28 Pasquali; in different sense Just., D. 5, 2 ἀντιτυπίαν resistance), acc. to Platonic doctrine, w. ref. to the world of things about us, as opposed to the true heavenly originals, or ideas (the αὐθεντικόν). So χειροποίητα ἅγια, ἀ. τῶν ἀληθινῶν a sanctuary made w. hands, a (mere) copy of the true (sanctuary) Hb 9:24 (s. 1 above). The flesh is ἀντίτυπος τοῦ πνεύματος 2 Cl 14:3a; the spirit, on the other hand, is τὸ αὐθεντικόν vs. 3b.—RHanson, Allegory and Event, ’59, 67–69; CFritsch, TCVriezen Festschr. ’66, 100–107.—DELG s.v. τύπτω.
