Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

δεσμεύω. For δεσμεύω, ‘‘ bind together,” as in Mt 23%, cf. P Lond 31 recto 428, 481 (farm accounts—a.b. 78-9) (=I. p. 182f.) ἐργάτηι δεσμεύοντι ἀγκάλας... δεσμεύων ἀγκάλας ἐν τῶ χωρίῳ ἐργάτης a, P Oxy VII. το497 (late ii/A.D.) ἄλ(λοις) B épy(drats) δεσμί(εύουσι) μανδίάκας) (δραχμαὶ) y (τριώβολον), so 15.17.18. and P Flor III. 3221 (Ὁ Α.Ὁ. 258) δεσμεύοντες τὸν αὐτὸν χόρτον δέσμες (7. ἐ. -ats) Bu (also “5, 85). In this meaning the verb is linked with δέσμη : for that which looks towards δεσμός, as in Lk 8°, cf. the incantation in the great Paris magical papyrus, P Par 574146 (iii/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 114) ἔξελθε δαῖμον, ἐπεί σε δεσμεύω δεσμοῖς ἀδαμαντίνοις ἀλύτοις. Cf. P Lond 4650 (iv/a.p.) (=I. p: 75) δεσμεύων λέγε καταδεσμεύω τὸν (δεῖνα) κτλ.
