καθίημι. P Petr IIT. 42 C (14)5 (B.c. 255) καθεῖκα. For the postclassical use of the verb, which in the NT is confined to the Lukan writings, see the exx. in Schmid 4éficismus iv. p. 360. καθίστη μι in the sense of ‘‘appoint’’ may be illustrated from P Hib I. 821. 14 (B.c. 239-8) καθεστήκαμεν γραμματέα ᾿Ισοκράτην τῶν ἀπεσταλμέν[ω]ν εἰς τὸν [᾿Αρσι]νοίτην κληρούχων, “1 have appointed Isocrates as scribe of the cleruchs sent to the Arsinoite nome ᾿᾿ (Edd.), P Ryl II. 15318 (a.p. 138-161) οὗ καὶ καθίστημι ἐπιτρόπους [ἄχ]ρε οὗ yévn[rar τῆ]ς ἐννό[μοὴ]ν [ἡ]λικίας. .. οὖς [οἷδα ἐπιτηδείου]ς, “1 appoint as his guardians until he attains the legal age, . . . (the aforesaid persons) whom I know to be suitable” (Edd.), and P Amh II. 658 (early ii/A.D.) where, in answer to a petition that one of two brothers should be released from public service to attend to the cultivation of their own land, the Prefect decides—8ixatov τὸν ἕτερον ἀπολυθῆναι ἐὰν ἄλλος ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ κατασταθῃ, ‘it is just that one of them should be released, if some one else is appointed in his stead” (Edd.). The verb is also used technically of presenting oneself before judges, e.g. P Petr III. 30%? (Ptol.) καταστάντος μου ἐπὶ [σοῦ πρὸς] Εἰρήνην, “when I appeared in your court in my suit against Eirene” (Edd.), P Oxy II. 28174 (A.D. 20-50) διὸ ἀξιῶ συντάξαι καταστῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σέ, “1 therefore beg you to order him to be brought before you,”’ P Ryl II. 652° (B.c. 65?) ἠξίουν συντάξαι καταστῆσαι τοὺς éykadoupévous, ‘they asked that the accused should be | ordered to be brought forward ”’ (Edd.), 74. 13614 (A.D. 34) καταστῆσαι ἐπὶ σὲ πρὸς τὴν ἐσομένην ἐπέξοδ(ον), “to bring them before you for the ensuing punishment” (Edd.). The simpler meaning of ‘‘conduct” or ‘“‘bring,’’ as in Ac 17}, occurs in P Par 51137. (B.c. 160) (= Selections, p. 20) ἐγὼ | Katacryo[as] Διδύμας ἐπὶ σέ, ὁρῶ σοι αὐτὸν καθιστῶντα αὐτάς, “1 have conducted the Twins to you: I see him conducting them to you,” BGU I. 93? (ii/iii A.D.) κατάστησον αὐτοὺς εἰς Μέμφιν. For the verb = ‘‘come into a certain state,” as in Jas 3°, 44, we may compare P Ryl II. 2817 (A.D. 54-67) οὐκ ἔπένευσεν ἐξόφθαλμος αὐτῆς καθεστὼς διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν κατ᾽ ἔτος γενημάτων, ‘he refused, having grown covetous of it owing to its great yearly productivity ” (Edd.) ; see also Aristeas 289 καὶ yap ἐκ βασιλέων βασιλεῖς γινόμενοι πρὸς τοὺς ὑποτεταγμένους ἀνήμεροί Te καὶ σκληροὶ καθίστανται, “ for some kings of royal lineage are inhuman and harsh towards their subjects”’ (Thackeray), and Menander Fragm. p. 215 ἅπαντα δοῦλα τοῦ φρονεῖν καθίσταται, ““everything is found to be the servant of good ξεῆβε." For the pass., as in Rom 57%, cf. P Rein 18° (B.c. 108) πρ]ονοηθῆναι ὡς ἀπερίσπίαστο!ς κατασταθήσεται, ‘‘veiller a ce qwil soit laissé en repos” (Ed.). In P Revill Mél 295%¢ (B.c. 131-0) (= Witkowski Z//.2 p. 26) προσπέπτωκεν <ydap> ΠΠαῶν ἀναπλεῖν ἐν τῶι ΤΌβι -- μ(ηνὶ) > μετὰ δυνατῶν ἱκανῶν πρὸς τὸ καταστεῖσαι τοὺς ἐν ᾿Εἱρμώνθει ὄχλους, » « Witkowski understands the verb as = ‘“‘reprimere,” ‘‘comprimere.”” For the subst. κατάστασις used legally (see Part IV.
