ἔχω [page 270] It may be well to illustrate some of the less usual forms of this common verb. The future σχήσω (cf. Kόhner-Blass Gr. I. ii. p. 112 n. .3 ) is restored by the editor in OGIS 751 .9 (ii/B.C.) ἐπεὶ θλιβέντες ἐμ πλείοσιν ἀσθενῶς [σχή ]σετε . For the 2 aor. with 1 aor. termination (cf. Act_7:57 D συνέσχαν ) see BGU II. 451 .8 (i/ii A.D.) ἀναγκαίως ἔσχαμεν δ [ι ]᾽ ἐπιστολῆς σ̣ε̣ ἀσπάσεσθαι , and for ἔσχοσαν cf. OGIS 315 .59 (B.C. 164 159) ὑφοψίαν μοχθηράν , ἣν καὶ περὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ἔσχοσαν . In ib. 223 .7 (iii/B.C.) we have αὐτοὶ ἀπολογισάμενοι περί τε τῆς εὐνοίας ἣν διὰ παντὸς εἰσχήκατε εἰς τὴν ἡμετέραν οἰκίαν , and for similar forms see the editor s note .3 to ib. 323. For the trans. use of the verb see such passages as P Oxy IV. 743 .19 (B.C. 2) εἰ καὶ π [ρ ]ὸς ἄλλους εἶχον πρᾶγμα , βοηθὸν αὐτοῦ γ [ε ]νέσθαι διὰ ἢν ἔχομ̣ε̣(ν ) πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς φιλίαν , BGU I. 22 .8 (A.D. 114) (= Selections , p. 74), which illustrate 1Co_6:1 : P Leid U 3 .20 (1st half ii/B.C.) τέλος ἔχει πάντα παρὲξ τῆς ἐπιγραφῆς , as in Luk_22:37 : and P Petr III. 42 G 9 .7 (mid. iii/B.C.) ἐ ]α̣ν̣ τινος χρείαν ἔχηις , as in Mat_9:12 . With the metaphorical usage in Mar_16:8 , cf. P Giss I. 65 a .4 πα ]ρακαλῶ σε , κύριέ μου , εἰδότα τ [ὴ ]ν [ἔ ]χουσάν με συμφορὰν ἀπολῦσαί μοι κτλ ., and BGU II. 380 .15 (iii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 105) οὐδὲν περισότε [ρ ]ον ἔχι σε , there is nothing so much the matter with you, followed by εἰ δὲ οἶδες σατῷ , ὅτι ἔχεις ἔτι , γράψον μ̣ο̣ι , but if you yourself know that matters are still not going well with you, write to me. In BGU I. 33 .6 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐγὼ γὰρ ἐμαυτὸν οὐκ ἔχω εἰ μὴ περαιωθῇ τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο , the verb has the force of have rightly or really : cf. P Oxy VII. 1020 .5 (A.D. 198 201) εἰ τὴν ἐκ τῆς ἡ [λικίας ] ἔχεις β̣οήθιαν , where the editor translates if you can claim the assistance due to immature age, and notes that ἔχεις implies is rightly yours. In P Lond 962 .3 (A.D. 254 or 261) (= III. p. 210) δέξαι παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ δραχμὰς διακοσίας καὶ ἔχε αὐτὰς εἴς τε περιχωματισμὸν ἢ καὶ λόγον ὀψωνίων , ἔχε = spend. This might give some support to the imper. (as RV marg.) in Mat_27:65 , against which the durative tense is a serious objection. For the phrase γυναῖκα ἔχειν ( 1Co_7:2 ; 1Co_7:12 ) see Syll 794 περὶ γε <ι > νεῆς , ἣ (not ἦ as Dittenberger) ἔστα [ι ] ἐκ τῆς γυναικὸς Α [ί ]γλης , τῆς νῦν ἔχει , and cf. P Leid W viii. 9 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐὰν θέλῃς γυνεκας οὐ μὴ σχεθῆναι ὑπὸ ἄλλου ἀνδρός . The Latinism of Luk_14:18 f. is well illustrated by P Oxy II. 292 .6 ( c. A.D. 25) (= Selections , p. 37) παρακαλῶ σε . . . ἔχειν αὐτὸν συνεστάμενον , and similarly ib. IV. 787 (A.D. 16), P Giss I. 71 .4 (time of Hadrian). For the verb in receipts we may cite Meyer Ostr 10 .7 (Ptol.) ἔχουμεν ( l. ἔχομεν ) παρὰ σοῦ τοῦ ( l. τὸ ) τέλος , and the much more common aor. in ib. 26 .3 (A.D. 118) ἔσχ (ον ) ὑπ (ὲρ ) λαο (γραφίας ) . . . β̄ς̄ ῥυπ (αρὰς ) δραχ (μάς ) : see further Wilcken Ostr i. p. 86, and Archiv i. p. 76 ff. The pres. part. mid. = next, following, of time, is seen in P Rev L xxxiv. 20 (iii/B.C.) ἐν τ [ῶι ἐχο ]μένωι ἐνιαυτῶι , and is = adjoining of place in P Par 51 .5 (B.C. 160) (= Selections , p. 19) ἄν ]θρωπ [ος ] . . . ἐχόμενός μου , and P Tebt I. 86 (late ii/B.C.) where the land of Demetrius is βορρᾶ ἐχομένη to that of Apollonius and νότου ἐχομένη to that of Hermione : see the editors Introd. p. 381. For ἐχόμενα used adverbially = hard by, near, as in Jdg_9:37 , see PSI V. 514 .8 (B.C. 252 1) εὐθέως δὲ τούτων ἐχόμενα κατάπεμψον τὰ ἐπισταλέντα εἰς τὰ γενέθλια τοῦ βασιλέως . For the verb used intransitively with an adverb, as in Act_21:13 , 2Co_12:14 , cf. P Lond 42 .29 (B.C. 168) (= I.p. 31) ἡ μήτηρ σου τυγχάνει βαρέως ἔχουσα , BGU I. 80 .17 (A.D. 158 9) ἡ Σωτηρία ἑτοίμως ἔχουσα καταγράψαι , P Cairo Preis 48 .6 (ii/A.D.) καλῶς δ᾽ ἔχει σε ἐνθάδε ἐλθόντα μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ μένειν , the Christian letter P Oxy VI. 939 .21 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 129) εἰ μὴ ἐπινόσως ἐσχήκει τὸ σωμάτιον τότε ὁ υἱὸς Ἀθανάσιος , unless my son Athanasius had then been in a sickly state of health, and from the inscrr. Michel 543 .12 ( c. B.C. 200) καλῶς ἔχον ἐσ [τὶ ] τιμᾶσθαι τοὺς εὔνους ἄνδρας , ib. 687 .44 (end iii/B.C.) ὅπως ἂν τούτων γενομένων ἔχει καλῶς καὶ εὐσεβῶς τει βουλει καὶ τῶ [ι ] δήμωι τὰ πρὸς τοὺς θεούς . MGr ἔχω : note ἔχει (c. acc.), there is, there are.
