δέρω [page 142] P Oxy III. 653 ( b ) (before A.D. 161) shows us this word in its colloquial sense first found in Aristophanes of beat, thrash instead of flay. In the account of a trial regarding a mortgage upon the property of Voltimus which had been seized by the creditor, Sempronius Orestinus, the Praefect informs the latter that unless he makes restitution οὐ μόνον κατακριθήσει ἀλλὰ καὶ δαρήσ [ει . So in Syll 737 .91 ( c. A.D. 175) ἔστω δὲ τὰ αὐτὰ ἐπιτείμια καὶ τῷ δαρέντι καὶ μὴ ἐπεξελθόντι παρὰ τῷ ἱερεῖ ἢ τω̣̑ ἀρχιβάκχῳ , ἀλλὰ δημοσίᾳ ἐνκαλέσαντι : the δαρείς here has been called ὁ πληγείς a little earlier. It may be noted that for the ordinary rendering of 2Co_11:20 εἴ τις εἰς πρόσωπον ὑμᾶς δέρει , if any one smiteth you on the face, Paspati suggests (see Exp III. i. p. 238) if he upbraideth you to your face, in view of the MGr προσωποδέρει . The ordinary MGr verb δέρνω (aor. ἔδειρα ) = whip, beat.

δέρω "to skin, flay", of animals, Hom. , etc.:— ἀσκὸν δεδάρθαι "to have one's" skin "flayed off", Solon; so, δερῶ σε θύλακον "I will make" a purse "of your skin", Ar. also (like the slang words "to tan or hide) to cudgel, thrash", id=Ar.
