Transitively, a. to cast upon: τίνι βρόχον, 1Co_7:35; τίνι τά ἱμάτια, Mar_11:7; (χοῦν ἐπί τάς κεφαλάς, Rev_18:19, WH marginal reading); to lay upon, ἐπί τινα τήν χεῖρα or τάς χεῖρας, used of seizing one to lead him off as a prisoner: Mat_26:50; Mar_14:46 R G L; Luk_20:19; Luk_21:12; Joh_7:30 (L marginal reading ἔβαλεν), 44 (L Tr WH the simple βάλλειν); Act_5:18; Act_21:27 (for the Hebrew τ ΰΖμ ιΘγ ωΘΡμΗη ..., Gen_22:12); also τάς χεῖρας τίνι, Mar_14:46 T Tr WH; Act_4:3 (Polybius 3, 2, 8; 5, 5; Lucian, Tim. 4); ἐπιβάλλειν τάς χεῖρας followed by the infinitive indicating the purpose, Act_12:1; τήν χεῖρα ἐπ' ἄροτρον, to put the hand to the plow (to begin work), Luk_9:62. b. to put (i. e. sew) on: ἐπίβλημα ἐπί ἱμάτιον, Luk_5:36; ἐπί ἱματίῳ, Mat_9:16. 2.

Kypke (Wetstein (1752), McClellan) at the passage; Buttmann, 145 (127); (and for the different interpretations see Meyer and especially Morison at the passage). 3. Impersonally, ἐπιβάλλει μοι it belongs to me, falls to my share: τό ἐπιβάλλον (namely, μοι) μέρος τῆς οὐσίας, Luk_15:12 (κτημάτων τό ἐπιβάλλον, Herodotus 4, 115; τό ἐπιβάλλον αὐτοῖς μέρος, Diodorus 14, 17, and the like often in other writings (see Meyer; σοι ἐπιβάλλει ἡ κληρονομία, Tob_6:12 (cf.

ἐπιβάλλω [page 235] For the transitive use of this verb, cf. P Leid W iii. 41 (ii/iii A.D.) οἶς ( sc. τοῖς λύχνοις ) οὐκέτι ἐπιβαλεῖς ἔλαιον , so xv. 37 . In P Ryl II. 69 .6 (B.C. 34) we have a complaint against a man ἐπιβαλό (ντος ) . . . τὰ ἑαυτοῦ πρόβατα ἐφ᾽ ὃν ἔχομεν ἐν τῶι ψυγμῶι . . κνῆκον , having let his sheep loose on the cnecus which we have in the drying-place (Edd.), while in P Leid G .19 (B.C. 181 145) the phrase ἐπιβάλλειν [ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ] τὰς χεῖρας is used with the idea of violence, as in Mat_26:50 al. For the intrans. use meaning attack, cf. P Ryl II. 127 .10 (A.D. 29) ἐπιβαλόντες τινὲς λῃστρικῶι τρόπωι ὑπώρυξαν . . τὸ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ τεῖχος τοῦ οἴκου , certain individuals making a thievish incursion undermined the northern wall of the house (Edd.), ib. 133 .9 (A.D. 33) ἐπιβαλὼν Ὀ . εἰς τὸ λεγόμενον Τ . ἔμβλημ (α ), O. making an attack upon the dam (?) called that of T. (Edd.). A late usage by which the verb = arrive at, reach to may be illustrated by P Par 6 .7 (B.C. 129) Λόχου τοῦ συγγενοῦς [ἐπι ]βεβληκότ [ος ] εἰς Διόσπολιν [τὴν ] μεγάλην , P Amh II. 31 .5 (B.C. 112) ἐπιβάλλοντες εἰς τὸν Παθυρίτην διεπεμψάμεθα κτλ ., and the almost technical phrase ἐπιβάλλειν ἐπὶ τοὺς τόπους in P Hal I. 8 .4 (B.C. 232), P Grenf I. 40 .7 (ii/B.C.). The sense of endeavour underlies the use of the mid. followed by the inf. in P Par 63 .136 (B.C. 164) (= P Petr III. p. 30) ἐπιγράφει [ν τοῖς ] μὴ δυναμένοις ἐπιβεβλημένους , endeavouring to impose the corvιe on those who cannot perform it (Mahaffy), ib. 29 .26 (B.C. 161 0) ὑμῖν δὲ γίνοιτο πᾶν ὃ ἄν ἐπιβάλλησθ᾽ ἐπιτυγχάνειν . The legal phrase τὸ ἐπιβάλλον μέρος , as in Luk_15:12 , is very common : in addition to exx. in Deissmann BS p. 230 cf. P Grenf. I. 33 .83 ( c. B.C. 103 2) τὰς ἐπιβαλλούσας αὐτῇ μερίδας γῆς , P Oxy IV. 715 .13 ff. (A.D. 131) τὸ ἐπιβάλλ [ον ] αὐτῶι . . τρίτον μέρος οἰκίας καὶ τὸ ἐπιβάλλον αὐτῶι μέρος ψιλοῦ τόπου , P Fay 93 .8 (A.D. 161) ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐπιβάλλοντός σοι [ἡμί ]σους μέρους . See also P Hib I. 115 .3, .22 ( c. B.C. 250) ἐπιβάλλει of instalments of money falling due, P Lond 3 .21 (B.C. 146 or 135) (= I. p. 46) καρπείων ἐπιβαλλόντων μοι , P Fay 100 .20 (A.D. 99) τὰς ἐπιβαλλούσας μοι ἀργ (υρίου ) (δραχμὰς ) τριακοσίας , BGU I. 194 .12 (A.D. 177) τὰς λειτουργείας ἐπιβαλλούσας αὐτοῖς . Other impersonal exx. are P Par 63 .10 (B.C. 164) (= P Petr III. p. 18) κοινῆι πᾶσιν ἐπιβάλλει , is a common duty incumbent on all (Mahaffy), P Tebt I. 40 .12 (B.C. 117) (= Selections , p. 28) διὰ τὸ μάλιστα ἐπιβάλλειν προνοεῖσθαι τῶν βασιλικῶν , because it chiefly falls to you to look after the interests of the Crown. Another passage from the Tebtunis papyri throws a welcome light on the crux of Mar_14:72 . In I. 50 .12 (B.C. 112 1) ἐπιβαλὼν συνέχωσεν τὰ ἐν τῆι ἑαυτοῦ γῆι μέρη τοῦ σημαινομένου ὑδραγωγοῦ , we translate set to and dammed up the part of the water-course in question : see further in Proleg. p. 131, and cf. Allen ad Mk l.c. where this rendering of ἐπιβαλών in the Markan passage is accepted as probable, and the use of the word for the Evangelist s favourite ἤρξατο is explained as due to a misreading of the Aramaic original. Note that ἐπιβαλών occurs also in Syr. S aeth = 565 at Mar_10:50 (see Burkitt Ev. Da-Mepharreshe ii. p. 250). For ἐπιβολή = ἐπιβάλλον μέρος , see P Tebt II. 391 .19 (A.D. 99) τὸ λοιπὸν τῆς ἐπιβολῆς τῆς λαογραφίας with the editor s note. It is common = embankment as in P Petr I. 23 .3 εἰς ἐπιβολὴν παλαιοῦ χώματος . In P Lond 1157 .111 (A.D. 197 8 ?) (= III. p. 66) the editors suggest that in the phrase ἐπιβολ (ῆς ) πηχισμοῦ the reference is to an additional charge for certain measurements, or to an allotment of such a charge.
