Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

δύνω. P Hib I. 275% (calendar—B.c. 301-240) ἄγουσιν κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτ[ὃν] τῆι αὐτῆι ἡμέραι tlds] πλείστας οὐθὲν tal pad|λάσσοντες ἐπ᾽ ἄστρω[ι] ἢ δύνοντι ἢ ἀνατί[έλ]λοντι, * they (sc. the astronomers and sacred scribes) keep most of the festivals annually on the same day, without alterations owing to the setting or rising of a star” (Edd.), P Oxy 11. 235!° (horoscope—A.D. 20-50) δύνει Σκορπίος οἶκος “Apews. In the Eudoxus papyrus, P Par 1135 (c. B.c. 165) we have ἀεὶ δὲ φανερὸς ὁ μηδέποτε δύνων, ᾧ εἰσὶν αἱ ἄρκτοι, and 173 εἰ μὲν γὰρ ὃ πόλος ἀνανεύσει ἢ κατανεύσει, αἱ ἄρκτοι δύσονται καὶ ἐπιτελοῦσιν. P Hal I. 1249 (c. B.c. 250) ὡς δὲ ἂν ἥλιος] δύηι, μηδὲ εἷς ἐνεχυραϊζ[ἐτω μηδὲ πρὶν ἥϊλιον ἀνατέλλειν has the strong aorist, as the sense shows. We might also quote an application to the sunset of life, from Kaibel 5684 (Rome, iii/A.b.?): ἥτις ἐνὶ ζωοῖσιν ὅκως ἀνέτελλεν “Haos, viv δύνει δ᾽ ὑπὸ γῆν “Ε'σπερος ἐν φθιμένοις. The daring versifier is adapting Plato’s gem, the epitaph of Aster.
