δια-λύω : 1 aor. pass. διελύθην ; to dissolve [ef. διά, C. 4]: in Acts v. 36 of a body of men broken up and dispersed, as often in Grk. writ.

διαλύω dialyō 1x

to dissolve, dissipate, disperse, Acts 5:36*

δια-λύω

[in LXX for אבה, חבל, etc. ;]

to part asunder, dissolve; of an assembly, pass., to disperse: Ac 5:36.†

διαλύω. Nearest to its one appearance in ΝΤ-- -Ας 5%, of the dispersal of a horde of rebels—is the use in BGU III. τοι 212 (0 B.c. 170) ἵνα οὖν ph συμβῆι διαλυθῆναι αὐτά (--. τὰ πρόβατα). Cf. also Michel 1oo1%il® (c, B.c. 200) where it is forbidden to make any proposal ὡς δεείσῃ διαλῦσαι τὸ κοινὸν el Tas θυσίας Tas Tpoyeypappevas, “to break up the society or (intermit) the aforementioned sacrifices ’—there is a slight zeugma. Still parallel to @sso/vo is the frequent use in the Paris papyri in connexion with Ausés—12"8 (B.C. 157 ὅπως μὴ ὑπὸ τῆς λιμοῦ δι[αλύ]ω : here note the intransitive use, as in P Leid E® (1||8.6.} ἡμεῖς δ᾽ ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ μεταξὺ διαλύωμεν καὶ τῷ λειμῷ κινδυνεύομεν τὸ ἱερὸν ἐγλιπεῖν ---Ξε 6 Proleg. p. 159. So P Par 225} (ii/B.c.) ὥστ᾽ ἂν κινδυνεύειν τῷ λιμῷ διαλυθῆναι, 569 (petition of the Serapeum Twins— B.C. 163-2) (= Select ons, p. 14) ὡς Av ὑπὸ τῆς λιμοῦ διαAvopevat, and 3878 (B.c. 162) Kal μὴ διαλύωμαι TO λιμῷ. Another kindred use is that in P Strass I. 201 (iii/A-p.) ἔδοξεν ἡμᾶς δίκας μηκέτι λέγειν, ἀλλὰ φιλίᾳ μᾶλλον τὰς . ¢. 15 letters . . ] στάσεις διαλύσασθαι. Not far away is P Hib I. 96° (B.c. 259) ὁμολογοῦσιν διαλελύσθαι πρὸς ἀλλήλους πάντα τὰ ἐγκλήματα, “‘settled all the claims” (Edd.). Διάλυσις is similarly used with reference to debts, P Oxy I. 10429 (a.p. 96), 7%. VII. 1034 introd. (ii/A.D.). In P Hamb 1. 255 (B.c. 238) αὐτοὺς διαλῦσαι, δ. = ““τεconcile.” So P Magd 4213 (B.c. 222) μά(λιστα) διάλυσον αὐτούς * εἰ δὲ μ[ήη], ἀπό( στειλονὶ ὅπως ἐπὶ τῶν λαί(οκριτῶν) δι(ακριθῶσιν)--ἰἶ is the endorsement of the king upon a διαμαρτύρομαι 1 solvitur (nomen) Hebraice” (Ed.), it is used apparently to denote the resolution of the patriarchs’ names into magical combinations of letters.
