The perfective sense in διαφυγεῖν escape through fleeing (see Proleg. p. 112) comes out well in P Tebt I. 44 .28 (B.C. 114) μή ποτε ἐξ ὑστέρου παθόντος τί μου ἀθῶιος διαφύγηι , so that if anything happens to me subsequently he may not escape unpunished (Edd.) : cf. P Amh II. 131 .6 (early ii/A.D.) ἐλπίζω δὲ θεῶν θελόντων ἐκ τῶν λαλουμένων διαφεύξεσθαι καὶ μετὰ τὴν πεντεκαιδεκάτην ἀναπλεύσειν , but I hope, if the gods will, to yet escape from the talking and after the fifteenth to return home (Edd.).
