Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
διαδίδωμι 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 vege” than the ordinary sense “‘succeed to.” This last may be presumed in P Flor IIT. 308! (A. p. 203) βασιλ(ικῷ) ypa(pparet) | διαδεχομί(ένῳ) kal τὰ κατὰ τὴν [στρα(τηγίαν) τοῦ ‘Hppoπίολίτου νομοῦ) ] : cf. 7. 3825 (a.p.
