P Lille I. 16 .5 (iii/B.C.) εἰς τὸν Ἑ . λόγον ἐμπεσεῖν , to be paid into the account of H. : cf. P Tebt I. 17 .9 (B.C. 114) ὅπως μὴ ἐπικατασχὼν αὐτὸν εἰς δαπάνας ἐμπέσῃς οὐκ ὀλίας , so that you may not detain him and thus incur no little expense (Edd.). In ib. 39 .20 (B.C. 114) the verb is construed with the dat. ἐμ ]πεσόντος μου τῶι Σισόϊτ [ι , I fell in with Sisois, and in P Ryl II. 68 .9 (B.C. 89) it has the stronger sense of attack ἐμπεσοῦσα ἐξ ἀντιλο [γ ]ίας ε̣͗ [πληξέν ] με ταῖς αὐτῆς χερσὶν [πλη ]γαῖς πλεί [στα ]ις , attacking me in consequence of a dispute gave me many blows with her hands (Edd.). Cf. P Oxy II. 243 .26 (A.D. 79) σὺν τ [ο ]ῖς ἐμπεσουμένοις εἰς τούτοις ( l. τούτους ) [φ ]ο̣ρ̣τίοις πᾶσι , together with all fixtures which may be included in them (Edd.), and similarly ib.

[.] . ς̣ τοῖς ἐμπεσουμένοις ἤτοι ἐκ πράσεως καὶ ἐξ ὑποθήκης ἀργυρίοις , to use for her personal requirements the money accruing from the sale or mortgage (Edd.). With the use in Heb_10:31 we may now compare Ev. Petr. 10 μὴ ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ λαοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων .
