Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

καταλείπω. For the yst aor. formation κατέλειψα, as in Ac 6%, cf. P Giss I. 69% (A.D. 118-9) αὐτὸν παρὰ σοὶ κατέλειψα, P Ryl II. 15328 (a.p. 138-61) ὃν κατέλιψα ἐν Ζμύρνῃ τῆς ᾿Ασίας παρὰ τροφῷ θηλάζοντα, and the exx. in Deissmann 2.5 p. 190. The verb is very common of property “‘left” or bequeathed, as in P Eleph 2° (B.c. 285-4) ἐὰν δέ τι πάσχηι Διονύσιος, καταλείπειν τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὑτοῦ πάντα Καλλίσται, P Magd 13 (B.C. 217) ἐπιζητοῦντές τινα μέρη τῶν καταλειφθέντων ὑπαρχόντων ὑπὸ Φιλίππου, P Tebt 11. 380% (A.D. 67) καταλιφθησωμένων ὑπαρχόντων ἁπάντων, 20. 327." (late ii/A.D.) τετελευτηκότος ἀπ[όρου] μηδὲ ἕν καταλείπ[οντο]ς, ‘he died without means, leaving nothing at all” (Edd.), 24. 4068 (c. A.D. 266) λόγος ὧν κατάλειψεν (1. κατέλ--) Tlatdos γενόμ[ε]νός pov ἀ[ν]ήρ, ‘‘account of effects left by Paulus, my late husband” (Edd.). With the usage in Mk 107 we may compare P Oxy III. 5264 (ii/A.p.) οὐκ ἤμην ἀπαθὴς ἀλόγως σε καταλείπιν, ‘to leave you in the lurch without reason’’: see also P Lond 8978 (A.D. 84) (= III. p- 207) ἥδιστα πάντας καταλείψωι εἵνα μὴ τὴν πρός σε φιλείαν καταλείψωι, and P Oxy I. 120 werso® (iy/A.D.) aN (Δ ἀλλ᾽) Spa μὴ καταλίψῃς por θλιβόμενον, ““ whatever you do, do not fail me in my trouble”’ (Edd.). Similarly for Heb 4! we may cite P Lond 1171% (B.c. 8) (= III. p. 179), accounts with reference to ἄρακος as fodder for flocks— ook o vAy ay γίνονται ap(akov) καταλείπονται ἀρί(άκου) For καταλιμπάνω (cf. Gen 39°) see P Petr I. 14᾽ (a will —B.C. 237) καταλιμπάνω τὰ ὑπάρχοντα KTA., 75. 1517 (B.C. 237), and P Grenf I. 18 (ii/B.c.) ὀδύνη μ᾽ ἔχει ὅταν ἀναμνησθώ ὥς pe κατεφίλει ἐπιβούλως μέλλων με καταλιμπάνει]ν.
