Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

καταμαρτυρέω. P Tor I. τὴ 3883. (B.c. 117) ὥστε ὁμολογουμένως ἑαυτοῦ καταμαρτυροῦντα συμφανὲς καθεστακέναι. , καταμένω. Various passages from our sources show that this verb has not necessarily the meaning of ‘‘ remain permanently,” , καταναλίσκω ‘‘ abide,” ascribed to it by Grimm-Thayer. Thus P Fay 24 (A.D. 158) is a declaration by a police officer that he had set up in a certain farmstead the copy of an edict ordering all strangers who were (temporarily) staying there to return to their own homes—!3* περὶ τῶν ἐπιξένων καταμενόντων ἐν τῷ ἐποικίῳ ὥστε αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἰδίαν ἀνέρχεσθαι. And similarly one of the libelli of the Decian persecution is lodged on behalf of a man belonging to the village, but at | the moment residing in another—P Ryl II. 112(4)° (a.p. 250) πίαρὰ) Αὐρηλίου ᾿Αούτεως ἀπὸ κώμης Alvvews καταμένων ἐν κώμῃ Θεαδελφείᾳ : cf. P Meyer 15᾽7 (4.0. 250). On the other hand in P Oxy VIII. 112117 (a.p. 295) Σωτᾶς τις καὶ Παποντῶς καταμένοντες ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ οἰκίᾳ ἔνθα ἣ μήτηρ pov ᾧκει, “a certain Sotas and Papontos, who are my neighbours in the same house where my mother lived” (Ed.) the verb may point to more settled residence: cf. the complaint in Sy/l 418% (A.D. 238). of ἐκεῖσε τῆς πανηγύρεως εἵνεκεν ἐπιδημοῦντες ἡμέρας πεντεκαίδεκα ἐν TH τόπῳ τῆς πανηγύρεως οὐ καταμένουσιν, ἀλλ᾽ ἀπολιμπάνοντες ἐπέρχονται εἰς τὴν ἡμετέραν κώμην καὶ ἀναγκάζουσιν ἡμᾶς ξενίας αὐτοῖς παρέχειν.
