Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
μετακαλέω. The mid. of this verb, which is found gzatfer in Acts in the sense ‘‘summon to myself,” ‘‘send for” (cf. Hobart, p- 219f.), may be illustrated from the curious interview with | an Emperor (Marcus Aurelius or Commodus) P Oxy I. 33 verso™-* (late i/a.D.) Αὐτοκράτωρ μετεκ[αἸλέσατο αὐτόν, | 103-7 τίς ἤδη τὸν δεύτερόν pov ἄδην mpooKkvyotyTa.. . , μετακινεω μετεκαλέσατο : where the meaning apparently is, ‘‘ who now has sent for me, who am facing death for the second time?”, and 74. X. 1252 recto2® (A.D. 288-95) ἐπὶ σήμερον ἥτις ἐστὶν τῇ μετεκαλέσω ἡμᾶς, ‘‘ whereas to-day, the 18th, you summoned us” (Edd.). For the act. cf. P Tebt I. Dees (B.C. 119 or 114) διὸ καὶ ἔτι νῦν καλῶς ποιήσεις φιλοτιμότερον προθυμηθεὶς ἵνα τὰ πρὸς αὐτὸν [Ὁ «ον .] διορθώσηι μετακαλέσας ἐκ τῶν προηγνοημένων, where the editors render, ‘‘I shall therefore be glad if you will even now endeavour more earnestly to correct your behaviour towards him, abandoning your previous state of ignorance” ; and for the pass. cf. P Par 63 "1.9 (Bc, 165) ἵνα μετακληθῇς ἔτι πρὸς τὴν ἐμὴν αἵρεσιν.
