Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

βραδύνω. The intrans. use of this verb, which alone is found in the NT, may be illustrated from P Oxy I. 118% (late iii/a.p.) ἐπὶ οὖν Bpadivover, ‘since they are delaying,” and OG/S 515° (A.D. 209-11) καὶ διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἡ εὐϊπορία ἡ πρὸς τοὺς κυρίους αὐϊτοκράτορας τῶν φόρων βραδύνει. So ina papyrus of the second half of ii/a.p., edited by Comparetti in Jel. Nicole, p. 59 (col. ii.) ὡς ἂν βραδύνῃς καὶ ὑστερήσῃ ταῦτα τὰ [κτήνη] τῆς πορείας, οὐκ ἀγνοεῖς οὐδ᾽ αὐτὸς ζημίᾳ σε ὑποπί εἴπτειν μέλλοντα, ““1 you delay, and these animals are late for the expedition, you yourself know you will get into trouble.” (The document is given again in P Flor II. p- 258.) In the Christian letter, P Gen I. 51°, ἐβράδυνεν is without clear context, but certainly means ‘‘he delayed.” In MGr βραδυάζει or βραδύνει = ‘it is late,” ‘evening draws on.
