1 δεῦρο[a] and δεῦτε may be regarded (particularly in their absolute usage) as semantic hybrids in that they are adverbial in form, but in certain contexts they involve not only extension toward a goal near the speaker but actual movement. 2 ROM 1:13 The implications of δεῦρο in ROM 1:13 may reflect the spacial meaning of δεῦρο[a] here (see 84.24).

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
δεῦρο. For the temporal use of δεῦρο, as in Rom 115, cf. P Lond 358} (c. A.D. 150) (=II. p. 172) μέχρι τοῦ δεῦρο πέρας τοῦ δευρε[ί, P Strass I. 5615" (ii/iiia.p.), and 76. 7315 (ili/a.D.) μέχρι δεῦρο, P Gen I. 47° (A.D. 346) μέχρι Setpov. In P Lond 409% (c A.D. 346) (=II. p. 289) ἄχρεις δεῦρο we have a close approach to the Pauline phrase. A form δεῦρε is found in the Attic inscriptions of B.C. 500-450 (see Meisterhans Gr. p. 146): it belongs to the same impulse that produced the plural δεῦτε, through the common imperative use. In P Oxy X. 1297) (iv/A.D.) δεῦ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔνεγκεν τοὺς ἄμητας, “come here with him and bring the milk cakes,” we have an instance of the imperatival δεῦρο, in an apocopated form. See /ro/eg. p. 172.
