μετοικίζω formance of his duties—kaQ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν μετεωριΐζ[6]μενον σχοινίοις καὶ πληγαῖς κατακοπτόμενον κατὰ τὸ σῶμα, “being daily suspended by ropes and having my body belaboured with blows.” From this it isa natural transition to the sense of being elated or exalted in mind, seeking high things, as in the LXX (Ps 130, 2 Macc 517, 734), and, according to some commentators, in Lk 1279, the only passage where the verb is found in the NT (cf. Vg oltre in | sublime tolit, Luther fahret nicht hoch her, Vind. Cov. ‘neither clyme ye up on high’’). But, in view of the context, the rendering “be not anxious, worried”’ (cf. ‘‘ be not | ye of doubtful mind,” AV, RV) is more likely, and is sup| anxious, we are well” (Edd.). ported by such a passage from the Kowy as P Oxy XIV. 167916 (iii/A.D.) μὴ μετεωρίζου, καλῶς διάγομεν, “do not be The adj. μετέωρος is used technically of an ‘incompleted ” contract, which is therefore still “in suspense” in P Oxy II. 2381 (a.p. 72) μετεώρους οἰκονομίας : see the editors’ introduction, and cf.
