ἐρεύγομαι [page 253]
A new literary reference for this word, corresponding to the usage in Mat_13:35 (cf. (cf. Psa. 18꞉ 3 [MT Psa_19:3 ]), may be cited from P Oxy VII. 1011, fol. I verso .7 , a fragment of Callimachus
ὤναο κάρ᾽ ( l. κάρθ᾽ ἕνεκ᾽ οὔ τι θεῆς ἴδες ἱερὰ φρικτῆς ,
ἐξενέπειν καὶ τῶν ἤρυγες ἱστορίην .
Lucky indeed for thee that thou hast never seen the mysteries of the dread goddess, or thou hadst e en begun to blurt out the tale of them (Ed.). In his note Hunt says ἐξενέπειν ἤρυγες is perhaps a just possible expression for began to tell.
