δια-βάλλω: 1 aor. pass. διεβλήθην ; 1. prop. to throw over or across, to send over, (τὶ διά τινος). 2. very often, fr. Hdt. down, to traduce, calumniate, slander, accuse, defame (cf. Lat. perstringere, Germ. durchziehen, [διά as it were from one to another; see Winer, De verb. comp. etc. Pt. v. p. 17]), not only of those who bring a false charge against one (διέβλητο πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀδίκως, Joseph. antt. 7, 11, 3), but also of those who disseminate the truth concerning a man, but do so maliciously, insidiously, with hostility [cf. Lucian’s Essay de calumn. non temere credend.], (Dan. iii. 8 Sept.; Dan. vi. 24 Theodot.) ; so διεβλήθη αὐτῷ ὡς διασκορπίζων, Lk. xvi. 1 (with dat. of pers. to whom the charge is made, also in Hadt. 5, 35, et al.; τινὰ πρός twa, Hdt. 5, 96, et al.; foll. by ὡς with ptep., Xen. Hell. 2, 3, 23; Plat. epp. 7 p. 334 a.). [S¥YN. see κατηγορέω.]

δια-βάλλω

[in LXX: Da LXX 3:8, Da TH 3:8 6:24 (25) (אֲכַל קְרַץ), II Mac 3:11, IV Mac 4:1 * ;]

To slander, defame, accuse falsely or maliciously: Lk 16:1 (Cremer, 120).†

διαβάλλω With acc. διά has a recognized use in petitions where the subtle but important difference from gen. may be overlooked —see Proleg. p. 105. P Magd 167 (B.C. 222) ἵνα διὰ σέ, βασιλεῦ, τοῦ δικαίου τύχω, ‘grace a toi” (Ed.), isa good example: διὰ σοῦ would be avoided in addressing a king, and διὰ σέ is more delicate than παρὰ σοῦ. Other instances in Kuhring p. 41, and Rossberg p. 39, whose heading *‘ quo auctore quid fiat ” is fairly established. The ace. re? sometimes brings the meaning rather near that of διά c. gen. P Fay rrg*4 (c. A.b. 100), ἐπὶ κράζει ΤΠᾶσις εἵνα μὴ εἰς ψωμὶν γένηται διὰ τὼ ὕδωρ. “for Pasis is crying out that we must not allow it [the manure] to be dissolved by the water” (Edd.), BGU I. 350% (ii/A.D.) mempaké[var τὸν ὁμολογοῦντα διὰ τήνδε τὴν] ὁμολογίαν, P Par 17! (A.D. 154) πριαμένης διὰ χειρόγραφον (Kuhring p. 41). Late and illiterate documents were only anticipating the general development of Greek syntax. Rossberg p. 39 f. has instances of διά c. acc. classified. With Heb 210, Rev 411, cf. P Leid Whill. 83 (ji/iii A.p.), addressing a deity, σοῦ yap φανέντος κ(αὶ) κόσμος ἐγένετο, K(al) φῶς ἐφάνη Kal) διοικονομήθη τὰ πάντα διὰ σέ, P Oxy I. 418 (c, A.D. 300), where a crowd acclaims a magistrate, πολλῶν ἀγαθῶν ἀπολαύομεν διὰ cal, πρύτανι: the date makes it reasonable to compare this directly with διὰ σοῦ in Ac 24%, rather than putting it into the category described above. For διά in composition it will suffice to refer to Moulton Gr. IT. § 116.
