μαίνομαι [page 385] The proceedings before Festus ( Act_26:24 f. ) find a striking parallel in the curious interview with an Emperor (Marcus Aurelius or Commodus) recorded in P Oxy I. 33, where the Emperor rebukes the violent language of the condemned Appianus in the words iv. 9 ff. ἰ (= εἰ )ώθαμεν καὶ ἡμεῖς μαινομένους καὶ ἀπονενοημένους σωφρι (= ο )νίζειν , we are accustomed to bring to their senses those who are mad or beside themselves (Edd.), and receives the answer .13 ff νὴ τὴν σὴν τύχην οὔτε μαίνομαι οὔτε ἀπονενόημαι .
