Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κατατρέχω. A good ex. of this verb, which in the NT is confined to Ac 21°? (cf. Hobart, p. 193), occurs in P Par 445 (B.c. 153) (= Witkowski App.” p. 83) βλέπω Μενέδημον κατατρέχοντά pe, where Witkowski renders κατατρέχω, ‘* persequor fugientem, impetum facio, aggredior, impugno.” Cf. also P Tebt I. 41° (c. B.c. 119) ὃ ἐγκαλούμενος Μαρρῆς πρὸς TAIL] διασείσει κατατρέχει τοὺς γεωργούς, ‘‘Marres the accused besides his extortions oppresses the cultivators.” For the more literal sense see BGU III. 9358 (iii/iv a.p.) ot καταδραμόντες τοὺς τόπους, and the ii/B.C. inser. Sy// 241° καθ᾽ ὃν καιρὸν συνέβη Βοῦκριν καταδραμόντα τὴν χώραν καταγαγεῖν εἰς Κρήτην τῶν τε πολιτῶν πλείους κτλ.
