Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

μανία [page 388] The somewhat weakened sense of μανία in Act_26:24 , where it is contrasted with σωφροσύνης ῥήματα 25 : (cf. s.v. μαίνομαι ), is seen in an unedited Tebtunis papyrus of ii/B.C. φαίνῃ εἰς μανίαν ἐμπεπτωκέν [α ]ι , διὸ λόγον σαυτοῦ οὐ ποιεῖς καὶ ὑπ [ο ]μεμένηκας , you seem to have gone mad, for you pay no regard to yourself, and have gone off your head : cf. also PSI IV. 434 .6 (B.C. 261 0) εἰδὼς οὖν αὐτοῦ τὴμ μανίαν συναντᾶν ἐκέλευον , ὅταν περιοδεύω , καὶ κωλῦσαί με , and BGU IV. 1024 v. 3 (iv/v A.D.) φό [νο ]υ κατασ̣η̣μ̣α̣ι̣ν̣ο̣μένου [αἰτίαν ] τὴν ἐπικει [μ ]έν̣η̣ν̣ [σ ]ο̣υ̣ μ̣α̣νίαν [λέγεις ] ἔρωτος . For the adj. μανικός see the florilegium of apophthegms PSI II. 120 .54 (iv/A.D. ?) ἐν ἀγορᾷ μὴ σπεῦδε , μηδὲ χειροτόνει λαλῶν· μανικὸν γάρ .
