Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

εἰσάγω. For εἰσάγω = ‘‘ bring in,” without mention of place, as in Lk 257, Ac 75, see the legal usage in P Amh IT. 331 (c. B.c. 157) ἤδη τῶν καθ᾽ ἡμᾶς εἰσαγομένων πυνθανόμεθα τὸν ἐνκαλούμενον Τεσενοῦφιν μετὰ συνηγόρων συνκαθίστασθαι, * just as our side is already coming into court we hear that the defendant T. is pleading with the assistance of advocates” (Edd.): cf. also P Oxy II. 259!° (A.D. 23) where a man who had been ‘arrested ” for debt is described as τὸν εἰσηγμένον. In P Par 432 (8.6. 154) (= Witkowski’, p. 79) συγγέγραμμαι τῆι ‘Ho-répov θυγατρί. μέλλω δὲ iodye ἐν τῷ Μεσορὴ μηνί, the verb is used absolutely = ‘‘ marry’’; similarly in P Grenf II. 78% (A.D. 307) εἰσαγόμην ἐμαυτῷ γυναῖκα, where the dropped augment may be noted. In P Tebt II. 285° (a.p. 239) οὔτε τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους. . . εἰς τὴν οἰκετείαν εἰσάγουσιν, “nor can they introduce outsiders into the family,” we have the construction with ets, as in Ac 95 etc. P Tebt I. 20° (B.C. 113) χαριεῖ σὺν σοὶ αὐτὸν εἰσαγαγών shows us the meaning “introducing.” Εἰἰσάγω is also common = ‘*import” contrasted with ἐξάγω, “export,” e.g. P Lond 929° (ii/ili a,b.) (= III. p. 41) Μέλας ἐξιάγων) ἐλέου καμ(ήλους) ᾽ν, Σώτας ἐξίάγων) πυροῦ καμί(ήλους) ὃ, Τόσις ἰσά(γων) οἴνου κεράμ(ια) eB, Ρ Ryl II. 197 19,15. (custom-house receipts— / εἰσακούω late ii/A.D.) ἐξάγων ὀρόβου ἐπὶ ὄνῳ ἑνὶ... . . εἰσάγων) ἐπὶ ὄνοις δυσὶ [.. 1]. [. . 7. . ἕξ, ‘‘exporting pulse on one donkey, importing six on two donkeys.’ See also BGU IV. 12071! (8.6. 28) σὺ οὖν καὶ [᾿Αραμώτης] ἀνδραγαθεῖτε Kal εἰσάγεσθε τιμὴν φ]ακοῦ ὀλυρίω. For εἰσαγωγή it must be enough to cite P Tebt I. 4138 (c. B.c. 119) avt[ol] τε ἀπαρενόχλητοι ὄντες δυν[ώ]μεθα ἀντέχεσθαι τῆς εἰσαγωγῆς, ‘ we being undisturbed may be able to attend to the collection of the revenues” (Edd.); for the office of εἰσαγωγεύς see Archiv ili. p. 23 ff.
