Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

θεοδίδακτος that I had given him orders to go to Takona” (Edd.), BGU I. 278 (ii/aA.p.) (= Selections, p. 101) γινώσκειν oe θέλω Bret εἰς γῆν ἐλήλυθα τῇ S τοῦ Enel μηνός, “1 wish you to know that I came to land on the 6th of the month Epeiph”: cf. the Pauline formula οὐ θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν, Rom 115 etc. With τοῦ θεοῦ θέλοντος in Ac 1874, we may compare P Ambh II. 1315 (early ii/A.D.) ἐλπίζω δὲ θεῶν θελόντων ἐκ τῶν λαλουμένων διαφεύξεσθαι, ““ but I hope, if the gods will, to escape altogether from the talking,” P Giss I. 181° (time of Hadrian) @e[av δὲ θ]ελόντων εἰς τὰ Δημήτρια ἐλεύσεται kal ἀσπάσεταί σε, and the other exx. in Deissmann 4S, p. 252: with 1 Cor 1218, 1538, cf. BGU I. 2711 (ii/iii 4.1.) (= Selections, p. 101) ὡς ὁ θεὸς ἤθελεν. With the construction in Lk 184 cf. Crest. I. 14 11:8 (not before A.D, 200) καὶ σοί, λέγε τίνος θέλεις, [κα]τηγορήσω, and with Rom 135 cf. P Tebt II. 4213: (iii/A.D.) with reference to a tunic—@AXa θέλις αὐτὸ πωλῆσαι], πώλησον" θέλις αὐτὸ ἀφεῖναι τῇ θυγατρί σου], ἄφες, “ but if you wish to sell it, sell it; if you wish to let your daughter have it, let her have it.”’ One or two miscellaneous exx. may be added—P Oxy III. 653 (A.D. 162-3) θέϊλ]ων καὶ μὴ θέλων ἀποκαταστήσεις αὐτῷ, BGU III. 84615 (ii/a.p.) (= Selections, p. 94) οὐκ olSes, ὅτι θέλω πηρὸς γενέσται εἰ γνοῦναι KTA., “do you not know that I would rather be a cripple than. . ?” where θέλω is followed by ἢ (pap. et) as in 1 Cor 1415, and for the remarkable perf. τεθέληκα (as in LXX Ps 4012; cf. Rutherford WP, p. 415), see P Amh II. 130% (A.p. 70) οὐ τεθελήκουσι, and P Oxy VII, 1070 (iii/A.D.) od τεθελήκατε αἸὐτῷ διδόναι ἐπιστολάς, as restored by the editor. See also s.v. βούλομαι.
