αἱρέω haireō 3x

some list as deponent αἱρέομαι, to take; mid. to choose

αἱρέω,

[in LXX for אמר hi., בּחר, etc.;]

to take; Mid., -ομαι (M, Pr., 158 f.; MM, VGT, s.v.), to choose: Phl 1:22, II Th 2:13, He 11:25. (Cf. ἀν-, ἀφ-, δι-, ἐξ-, καθ-, περι-, προ-αιρέω.)†

αἱρέω. The middle usage of this word, which alone occurs in the NT, may be illustrated from P Par 26°! (B.c. 163-2) ( = Selections, p. 18) ὑμῖν δὲ γίνοιτο κρατεῖν πάσης ἧς ἂν αἱρῆσθε χώρας, P Lips I. 104!% (c. B.C. 96-5) περὶ ὧν ἂν αἱρῆσθε γράφετέ por, P Oxy IIL. 489% (a will, A.D. 117) καθ᾽ ὃν ἐὰν αἱρῶμαι [τρόπον], P Ryl 11. 15.345 (A.D. 138-61) k]iptos γὰρ Sy τῶν ἰδίων οὕτως ἥρημαι διατέσθαι, P Tebt II. 31929 (Δ... 248) ὃ ἐὰν αἱρῆται, and so frequently. It is ἃ sign of the gradual disappearance of the subtler meanings of the middle, that so early as B.C. 95 we find ἐὰν αἱρῆτε and ἐὰν αἱρεῖσθε used side by side for ‘‘if you like,” P Grenf II. 361418: see further Prolegomena, p. 159. For other uses of the active cf. P Fay 3414 (A.p. 161) τὸ αἱροῦν ἐξ ἴσου, ‘equal instalments,” the same in 2. 9317 (A.D. 161), P Oxy III. 502% (a.p. δραχμὰς ἑκατόν, ‘the proportionate amount of the rent, 100 drachmae” (Edd.), BGU Il. 4052° (A.D. 348) πέπρακα εἰς τὸ Epody (7. 6. αἱροῦν) μοι μέρος.
