Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

διερμηνεύω [page 160] With this verb, which is found six times in the NT practically = the simplex , we may compare P Tor I. 1 v. 4 (B.C. 116) (= Chrest II. p. 35) καθ᾽α παρέκειτο ἀντίγραφα συγγραφῶν Αἰγυπτίων διηρμηνευμένων δ᾽῾Ελληνιστί . See Aristeas 15 ἣν ( sc. νομοθεσίαν ) ἡμεῖς οὐ μόνον μεταγράψαι ἐπινοοῦμεν ἀλλὰ καὶ διερμηνεῦσαι : also 308, 310. A phrase almost identical with that cited from P Tor may be seen in P Tebt I. 164 i. 2 see s.v. μεθερμηνεύω .
