Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
διαδέχομαι [page 147]
On a special sense of this verb and its correlative διάδοχος (see s.v. ) in LXX, see Deissmann BS , p. 115. The only occurrences of either word in NT are in the normal sense, which can be freely illustrated. On P Ryl II. 84 .7 (A.D. 146) ταῦτα γράφω διαδεχόμενος τὴν Πρόκλου τοῦ κρατίστου εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἀποδημίαν , the editors remark that the combination is new, but there can be little doubt that διαδέχεσθαι here has its usual sense and that the writer s meaning is that he had been deputed to visit the upper country on the praefect s behalf : they translate as the deputy of . . Proculus in his visit to Egypt. This is more like Deissmann s proximus a rege than the ordinary sense succeed to. This last may be presumed in P Flor III. 308 .1 (A.D. 203) βασιλ (ικῷ ) γρα (μματεῖ )] διαδεχομ (ένῳ ) καὶ τὰ κατὰ τὴν [στρα (τηγίαν ) τοῦ Ἑρμοπ (ολίτου νομοῦ )] : cf. ib. 382 .50 (A.D. 222 3). So OGIS 210 .2 (A.D. 247 8) τοῦ κρατ (ίστου )Μύρωνος διαδεχομέν (ου ) τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην , Preisigke 1555 .5 (iii/A.D.) διαδεξάμενος τὴν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἁγιωτάτου Σαράπιδος γυμνασιαρχίαν .
