Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

γεμίζω. The verb is used of loading a ship with grain in P Magd 1114 (B.C. 221) συντάξαι Εἰὐφράνορι. . . γεμίσαι τὸ πλοῖον ἐκ (cf. Rev 85) τῶν καθ᾽ αὑτὸν τόπων τὴν ταχίστην. In], 11 of the same papyrus we have the pass. γεμίζηται used absolutely, and similarly on the verso περὶ τ]οῦ [γεμι]σθῆναι αὐτοῦ τὸ mAoltfolv: cf. Mk 497, Lk 142%. Other examples of the verb are P Fay 1174 (A.D. 108) πάντα τὰ κτήνη γέμιζι (2. γέμιζε) βάκανον, ‘load all the animals with cabbage,”” 70, 118°3 (A.D. 110), P Tebt IL. 419}? (iii/A.p.) γέμεισον χόρτου, “load (the ass) with hay,” P Flor IL. 184} (iii/A.p.) γεμίσας τὰ ἐκκενωθέντα τότε σιτάρια, and 17 τοὺς τέσσαρες σάκκους γεμίσαι, P Rein 53% (iii/iv A.D.) τὰ ἀποσταλέντα καμήλια γέμωσον (see below) οἴνου. For the constr. with acc. and gen., as in this last instance and others (cf. Mk τον etc,), see also OG/S 3831* (i/B.c.) τρ]απέζας μὲν ἱερὰς πρεπούσης θοίνης yeni({lov. In MGr γεμίζω is construed with double accusative. The curious form γέμωσον (P Rein 53 4c.) is explained by P Flor IL. 18438 (iii/A.p.) γόμωσον, and other passages where this alternative γομόω occurs: γέμωσον is a compromise. Note the negatived verbal in P Sa‘id Khan 1 >: 31 (B.c. 88) στέμφ[υ]λα ἀγέμιστ[α.
