Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
εἰσκαλέομαι. This NT ἅπ. εἰρ. (Ac το38) is found in a petition of B.c. 241, P Petr II. 12(3)!° οὖ[ν ἢ] σε εἰσκαλέσασθαι ἡμᾶς Kal ἐπισκεψάμενον ἃ διὰ τῆς ἐντεύξεως αὐτῶι ἐγκεκλήκαμεν, ἐπαναγκάσαι αὐτὸν τὸ δίκαιον ἡμῖν ὑποσχεῖν, “(we ask you), therefore, to summon us ard, having inquired into our charges against him, to force him to do us justice” (Ed.): cf. 26. III. 29(%)° ἀξι[ῶ σῆε εἰσ κα[λε]σάμενός [pe] ἐπισκέela pepo Ψψασθαι περὶ ὧν κτὰ. Like ἀνακαλέομαι, the verb seems to denote summoning by word of mouth, as distinguished from formal citation (παραγγέλλω) : see P Hamb I. p. 109 η.ὅ, and for medical usage cf. Hobart, p. 219.
