Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
μεταίρω is intrans. “‘change my position,” ‘‘depart,” in its two occurrences in the NT (Mt 1388, 191), but for the trans. ” “transfer,” as in the LXX, we may cite a Cilician rock inser. found in the neighbourhood of a temple OGIS 5731" (i/A.D.) τῶν δὲ ἀναθεμάτων τῶν ὄντων ἔν τε | τοῖς ναοῖς καὶ τῶν ἐπιγεγραμμένων ἔν τε ταῖς στήλαις καὶ Serapeum Twins) approached the son of Psintaes, and gave | him detailed information,” BGU I. 167 (A.D. 159-160) (= Selections, p. 83) πρὸς τὸ μεταδοθὲν εἰς ἐξέτασιν εἶδος, ‘‘with regard to the report handed over to us for information,” the report of five presbyter-priests regarding a brother priest, and more particularly in such passages as P Ryl II. 119 (A.D. 54-67) μεταδόντες αὐτῶι kal τοῖς αὐτοῦ υἱοῖς “Ἑρμοφίλωι καὶ Κάστορι διαστολικὸν ὑπόμνημα κατελθεῖν τοῖς ἀναθέμασιν μηδενὶ ἐξέστω-ι--- μήτε ἀπαλεῖψαι μήτε ἀχρεῶσαι μήτε μετᾶραι.
