ἀναγκάζω. P Oxy IV. 71714 (late i/B.c.) ἠν]άγκασμαι βοᾶν αὐτῶι. A somewhat weakened sense is seen in P Fay r1of (A.D. 94) εὖ ποιήσεις. . ἀναγκάσας ἐκχωσθῆναι τὸ ἐν αὐτῶι κόπριον, ‘*please have the manure there banked up” (Edd.): cf. the use in Lk 1428, where ἀνάγκασον describes the ‘‘ constraint” of hospitality which will not be denied. Other occurrences are BGU IV. 1042°.® (iii/A.D.) ἐ[ν]έτυχ[ε τ]ῷ δικαιοδότῃ kal ἀ[ν]ή[γκ]αζέ pe προσκαρτερεῖν τῷ βήμ[ατ]ι αὐτοῦ: so we venture to restore the text, in accordance with the meaning clearly needed—the augment will be a blunder like that which secured permanent footing in διηκόνουν, etc. A similar aor. is apparently intended in P Amh II. 133!” (early , , αναγ Κἢ ii/A.D.) καὶ μετὰ πολλῶν κόπων ἀνηκάσαμεν (1. ἀνηγκ-) αὐτῶν (for αὐτούς) ἀντασχέσθαι κτὰ. ““ἀπὰ with great difficulty I made them set to work” (Edd.). The contracted future occurs in an edict of Germanicus on a Berlin papyrus (Archiv vi. p. 286) ἐάμ. μοι μὴ πεισθῆτε, ἀναγκᾶτέ μεκτὰ. BGU IV. 11417 (end of i/B.C.) ἀναγκάζομαι μηκέτι σοὶ μηδὲν γράψαι, [ἵνα] vohoys. Ρ Lond 951 vers * (late iii/a.D) (=IIL. p. 213) ἤκουσ[α)] ὅ[τ|. θηλάζειν αὐτὴν ἀναγκάζεις. The verb is MGr, ἀναγκαῖος. P Fay τοῦ (early i/A.D.) πρὸς ἀναγκαῖν (= -αἴον). Ordinary uses may be seen in P Tor I. 14+ (p.c. 116) κατὰ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον ‘necessitate coactus,” P Leid B-3 (ii/B.c.) εἰς τὸ μηθὲν τῶν ἀναγκαίων ἡμᾶς ὑστερεῖν, P Flor II. 1324 (A.D. 257) ὅπερ ἀναγκαῖόν σε ἣν γνῶναι (as Ac 1345), 24. 1708 (A.D. 255) εἰ περὶ τῶν οὐθαμινῶν ἀμελεῖτε, πόσῳ μᾶλλον τῶν ἀναγκαιοτέρων. In combination with φίλος, meaning “intimate,” as in Ac τοῦδ, we have P Flor 11. 142? (A.D. 264) ἐπειδήπερ ἐντολικὸν ἔχω ἀναγκαίου φίλου : cf. Sy// 737° (ii/A.D.) (εἰ) σφόδρα ἀναγκαῖός τις ἢν. For the Pauline phrase ἀναγκαῖον ἡγεῖσθαι, as 2 Cor 9°, Phil 255, cf. P Fay 111! (a.p. 95-6) (= Sedections, Ὁ. 67) [a]vavKaiv ἡγήσα[5], ‘‘considering that it is essential,” Sy/7 656° (ii/A.D.) ὅθεν ἀναγκαῖον ἡγησάμην (c. inf): cf. ὑπολαμβάνομεν a. εἶναι, ih. 79074. The RV margin at Tit 3! εἰς τὰς ἀναγκαίας χρείας, “‘for necessary wants,” that is ‘‘for the necessities of life,” is supported by P Oxy VII. 106818 (iii/A.p.) χάριν ἀναγκέας xpias, and by Prieve 108° (c. B.C. 129), where Moschion is thanked for having given a certain sum εἰς χρείας ἀναγκαίας. Cf. P Grenf II. 14 (ce) f. (iii/B.c.) χρείαν ἔχομεν ἀναγκαίαν Τιμοξένου ὥστε ἀποστεῖλαι αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν πόλιν. The superlative is found P Par 467 (B.C 153) ἐν τοῖς ἀναγκαιοτάτοις καιροῖς, and P Giss I. 23° (1i/A.D.) πάντων τῶν εὐχῶν μου ἀναγκαιοτάτην ἔχω τὴν τῆς ὑγείας σου. αἰὄ. Cf. the elative in P Lond 4231 (B.c. 168) (=I. p. 30) εἴπερ μὴ ἀναγκαιότερόν σε] περισπᾶι, ‘‘ unless urgent business detains you,” P Flor I. 6115 (Α.0. 86-8) ἐντυγχάνει σοι τὸ πρῶτον κ[α]ὶ ἀναγκαιότατον. For the adverb, cf. P Flor II. 138° (A.D. 264) ἐπεὶ ἀναγκαίως σου χρήζω, OCIS 6698 (i/a.D.) προέγραψα ἀναγκαίως περὶ ἑκάστου τῶν ἐπιζητουμένων, P Giss I. 688 (early ii/A.D.) ἀναγκαίως γράφω σοί" οὐδένα ᾽χω (1 ἔχω) [μ]ετὰ τὸν θεὸν εἰ μή σε, etc.
