Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
καταγγέλλω. In P Oxy Χ. 12748 (iii/A.D.) a widow announces the appointment of a representative to act for her—éel ἀπευκταίας ploli καταγγελείσης φάσ[εϊως περὶ τελευτῆς τοῦ μακαρείτου μου ἀνδρός, ‘in consequence of the lamentable news announced to me concerning the death of my blessed husband” (Edd.). The official sense of the word ‘‘ make proclamation with authority,’”’ which appears in its NT occurrences (see Westcott on 1 Jn 1°), is very evident in such a psephisma as Sy// 364° (A.D. 37) ἔπεὶ ἡ κατ᾽ εὐχὴν πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις ἐλπισθεῖσα Γαΐου Καίσαρος Γερμανικοῦ Σεβαστοῦ ἡγεμονία κατήνγελται . . . ἔδοξεν τῇ βουλῇ κτλ. καταγελάω 32
