Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
δειγματίζω δεήσει μου, of a petition to the Praefect Apollonius. For petitions addressed to the Emperor cf. CP Ilerm 6! ὑπὲρ τοιούτων ὁποῖα προ[σην]έγκαμεν τὴν δέησιν ποιούμεθα : the statement follows, with θ]ειότατε αὐτοκράτωρ in the next line. So 2b 119 versolii 4, where Gallienus replies ka[Ae]t δὲ καὶ ἡ το[ῦ δι]καίου τάξις ὡς καὶ τὰ ἐκ τῆς παρὰ σοῦ δεήσεως ἑτοίμως [δ]ιδίόϊναι τήν χάριν. It is clear that the word is a strong one, even if the language of exaggeration will sometimes employ it where ‘‘request’’ would express the sense: thus BGU I. 180!” (a.p. 172) δικαίαν δέ[ησ]ιν ποιούμενος, I Gen 1. 1619 (A.p. 207) δ]έησίν σοι προσφέpopev, Κύριε. The noun and its original verb δέομαι retain connexion with the idea of ‘‘need”’; and δέησις was thus ready for its special NT use of ‘‘entreaty”’ towards God—we recall Trench’s epigram defining prayer as ‘the mighty utterance of a mighty need.
