Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐκπληρόω. For the meaning ‘‘ make good”’ in Ac 13°", cf. an interesting letter from Petenephiés, apparently a priest, requesting the release of certain persons that they may be able to furnish the supplies of food for the sacred crocodiles, P Tebt I. 578 (B.c. 114) τὰς τῶν ἱερῶν ζώιων σειταγωγίας ἐκπληρῶσαι, cf. 75. 4812 (c. B.C. 113) μεχρὶ TOD τὸ προκείμενον ἐκπληρῶσαι, ‘until we make up the aforesaid amount,’’ and P Ryl II. 66% (late ii/B.c.) ἵνα καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπροφασίστως ἐκπληρῶ τὰ πρόσλοιπα, ‘so that I also may make up the residues in full without excuse for failure” (Edd.). Other examples of the verb are P Par 625. 4 (ii/B.c.) (cited s.z. ἀναπληρόω), BGU IV. 1053418 and 1055%° (both B.c. 13), P Oxy I. 10438 (A.D. 96) ᾧ χορηγήσει ὁ αὐτὸς vids ᾿Α. kat’ ἔτος ἀργυρίου δρ[α]χμὰς τεσσαράκοντα ὀκτὼ ἄχρι οὗ ἐκπληρώσωσι ἀργυρίου δραχμαὶ τριακόσιαι, where the verb is used intransitively, unless it is a mistake for ἐκπληρωθῶσι (see Herwerden Lex. s.v.), cf. P Tebt I. 107 (B.c. 119) φρόντισον ws τὰ τῆς ὑποσχέσεως ἐκπληρωθήσεται, “take care that the terms of his agreement are fulfilled” (Edd.). From the inscrr. we may cite the honorary decree of Epaminondas Sy// 376° (i/A.D.) ἵνα τούτων οὕτως τελεσθέντων καὶ ἡ ἡμετέρα πόλις φαίνηται πᾶσαν τειμὴν Kal εὐσέβειαν ἐκπεπληρωκυῖα εἰς τὸν τοῦ κυρίου Σεβαστοῦ [Νέρωνος οἶκον.
