κραυγή. In P Petr IT. 4511}. 35 (B.c. 246) (cf. IIT. p. 334) Ptolemy III. describes his triumphal reception—kal of μὲν ἐδεξιοῦ[ντ]ο, ot δὲ [ . . .] μετὰ κρότου καὶ κραυγῆς [. . -, where the word has the ‘‘joyful”’ association that we find in Lk 14%. On the other hand, in P Tebt I. 154 (B.c. 114) τῆι ἃ τοῦ ὑποκειμένου μηνὸς ὡσεὶ περὶ ὥραν ca [[κραυγῆς]] θορύβου γενομένου ἐν τῆι κώ(μηι), ‘fon the first of the current month at about the eleventh hour a disturbance occurred in the village” (Edd.), we are reminded of the usage in Ac 23°. The plur. is found in the interesting literary text, P Oxy X. 124241. 4 (early iii/A.D.), describing an audience between the Emperor Trajan and certain rival Greek and Jewish emissaries from Alexandria, where it is stated that sweat broke out on the image of Sarapis carried by the Alexandrians-— θεασάμενος δὲ Tpatavds ἀπεθαύμασεν), καὶ ped’ ὁλίγον συνδρομαὶ ἐγένοντο εἰς [τὴ]ν Ρώμην κραυγαί τε πανπληθεῖς ἐξεβοῶντίο κ]αὶ πάϊν]τες ἔφευγαν εἰς τὰ ὑψηλὰ μέρη τῶν λόζφων, ““ and Trajan seeing it marvelled; and presently there were tumults in Rome and many shouts were raised, and all fled to the high parts of the hills” (Edd.) : cf.
