Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
καταρτίζω occurs in P Tebt I. 67 (B.c. 140-39) καταρτισθῶσι and 20. 2445 (B.C. 117) KaTaptiodpe8a—both times in broken contexts. A good ex. of the original meaning ‘‘ prepare,” κε perfect” a thing for its full destination or use is afforded by P Oxy VIII. 1153!® (i/A.D.) where the recipient of the letter is informed that he will receive certain garments ἃ ἐδωρήσατό σοι ἸΤαυσανίας 6 ἀδελφός cov mpd πολλοῦ ἐκ φιλοτιμίας αὐτοῦ κατηρτισμένα, ‘which your brother Pausanias went to the expense of having made some time ago and presented to you” (Ed.). Cf. from the inserr. OG/S 17719 (B.C. 96-5) κατηρτίσατο δίδοσθαι. . πυροῦ ἀρτάβας, and similarly 179° (B.c. 95). Wynne in xf VII. viii. p- 282 ff. understands the verb in Mk 1! not of ‘‘mending” but of ‘‘folding” the nets to be ready for use, quoting an old Scholion where the Vg ‘‘ componentes”’ is explained as ‘“vel farcientes, vel complicantes,”’ ‘‘ either stowing or folding”: cf. Wycliffe ‘“‘makinge nettis.” The various NT usages are fully discussed by Lightfoot on 1 Th 315. For ἀπαρτίζω see the citations s.v. ἀπαρτισμός, and add P Giss I. 6213 (ii/A.D.) εἰς τὸ ἤδη ποτὲ ἀκολ[ούθ]ως [ταῖς ἐντολαῖς τοῦ κρατίστου ἡγεμόνος τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν ἀπαρτισθῆναι.
