ἀναλαμβάνω. Syll 329% (i/B.c.) ἀναλαβόντας τὰ ὅπλα, ‘taking up,” literally. P Tebt II. 2964 15 (a.p. 123) has the verb twice = ‘‘receive.” OG/S 383° (see under ἀνάλημψις) κόσμον Περσικῆς ἐσθῆτος ἀϊν]αλαμβάνων, uses it for the first investiture (with the sacred thread of Parsism, presumably : cf. on this inscr. the Hibbert Lectures, 1912, pp. 106-8). PSI 74° (iii/A.D.) ἀξιῷ ἀναλαβόντας παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὴν ὁμολογίαν ὑπογεγραμμένην. In P Lille I. 14° (B.c. 243-2) ἀνάλαβε δ᾽ [οὖν αἸὐτοῦ τὸν κλῆρον els τὸ βασιλικόν, and P Oxy III. 471% (ii/A.p.) τὴν οὐσίαν αὐτοῦ... ἀναλημφθῆναι (pw erased) κελεύεις, the verb has the meaning “‘ confiscate”: so Perg I. 249% (af. Schweizer Δ ἐγ p. 203). In P Oxy VI. 899%? (A.D. 200) ᾧ ἀνείλημπται ἐπιστολὴ τοῦ κρα[τίστου] δι[ο]ικητοῦ, the editors translate ‘‘to which is joined a letter of his highness the dicecetes,” and quote τὸ. 985 and BGU 1. 168% τοῖς ὑπομνήμασι ἀνελήμφθη. The participle τὰ ἀνειλημμένα = ““ obligations” is found P Oxy IV. 70775. 85 (c. A Ὁ. 136). Cf. the phrase ἔρανον ἀ., in BGU IV. 1165%* (B.c. 19), dr ἀνίληφαν [κατὰ συν]γραφὴν ; ἀναλογία ἐράνῳι. P Lond οος (ii/A.D.) (=IIT. p. 219) has ἀναλημπθῆναι and the noun ἀναλήμπτες in a very illiterate document. ‘‘ Repeat,” of an advocate setting forth his case, is the meaning in P Tor I. 1%? (B.c. 116) (= Chrest. 11. p- 36) ἀναλαβὼν ἐξ ὧν παρέκειτο ὁ “Epplas ‘‘ repetens quae Hermias protulit” (Peyron). The Biblical use of ‘‘take up” for an ascension into heaven is naturally not paralleled in our sources: for exx. in Jewish writings see Charles's note on Afoc. of Baruch, p. 73. avddn pis. P Tebt 11. 296! (A.p. 123) is the receipt for money paid for a priestly office, ἐξ ἀναλ(ήψεως) ἐν αὐτῷ ‘‘as payable by himself” (Edd.): cf. reference to this document under the verb. It means ‘‘entertainment” (sc. one form of ‘‘ reception”) in Sy/Z 4186 (iii/A.pD.), ἀναγκάζουσιν ἡμᾶς ξενίας αὐτοῖς παρέχειν Kal ἕτερα πλεῖστα εἰς ἀνάλημψιν αὐτῶν ἄνευ ἀργυρίου χορηγεῖν. P Oxy VI. 9861. (early ii/a.D.) αὐλὴ δηλ(ωθεῖσα) ἐπικεκρατῆσθαι πρὸ τῆς ἀναλήμψεως ὑπὸ Πετεσούχου. OG/S 383!°—the inscription of Antiochus I. of Commagene (i/B.c.)—tmtp ἀναλήψεως διαδήματος, his coronation: see also the verb above. The substantive follows the verb’s wide range of meaning, which we have only partially illustrated, as needless for the NT. Dr Charles (Δ δ. above) quotes Ryle and James as claiming Pss. So/. 4° to be the earliest instance of its use (as in Lk 951) for ‘ascension ” into heaven.
