Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
εἰσπηδάω. This strong verb, which is found in the NT only in Ac 1629, may be illustrated by P Oxy I. 37% 16 (a.p. 49) (= Selections, p. 50) εἰσεπήδησεν εἰς τὴν τοῦ ἡμετέρου [olixlay καὶ τὸ σωμάτιον ἀφήρπασεν, ‘burst into my client’s house and carried off the foundling,” 16. VIII. 1120" (early iii/A.D. ) εἰσεπήδησεν els τὴν οἰκίαν μου Kal ἐτόλμησεν ἀποσπάσαι δούλην μου, and P Tebt II. 304!°(a.p. 167-8) μετὰ ξύλων ἰσπηδῆσαι, ‘rush in with staves.” See also Sy// 190° (B.C. 306-281) εἰσ]πηδήσαντας νύκτωρ ἐπ᾽ ἀδικίαι [καὶ] ἀσεβείαι τοῦ ἱεροῦ. A new literary citation (MJenandrea, Ρ. 542!) shows a close parallel to the absolute use in Ac 16°°, and well illustrates the ‘‘ violent” connotation of the verb— οὑτοσὶ μελαγχολᾷ. εἰσπεπήδηκεν.
