ὁρμάω [page 458] ὁρμάω , used intransitively as in all its NT occurrences = rush, is seen in P Strass II. 100 .17 (ii/B.C.) εἰς φυγὴν ὥρμησαν , took to flight, and similarly P Tebt I. 48 .24 ( c. B.C. 113). For a somewhat weakened sense cf. P Oxy I. 118 verso .29 (late iii/A.D.) ἔχων ὧν χάριν ὥρμι (= η )σας , when you have obtained what you went for (Edd.). The verb is construed with the dat. in P Oxy IX. 1204 .20 (A.D. 299), when a certain Oxyrhynchite made a design upon him (one Plutarchus) and ventured to nominate him for the decemprimate αὐτῷ ὁρμώμενος τετόλμηκεν αὐτὸν ὀνομάζειν εἰς δεκαπρωτείαν . For the mid. in the sense of origin, starting from, cf. P Tebt II. 397 .17 (A.D. 198) ἀπὸ μηδενὸς ὁρμωμένη , not on the basis of any claim, and such late exx. as P Hamb I. 23 .9 (A.D. 569) ἀμπελουργῶν ὁρμωμένων μὲν ἀπὸ κώμης Ἰβιῶνος . . ., ἐφεστῶτες δὲ ἐνταυ̣ͅθ̣α ἐπὶ τῆς α [ὐ ]τῆς Ἀντινοέων πόλ (εως ), PSI VI. 686 .4 (vi/A.D.?) ὁρ ]μώμενος ἐκ τῆσδε τῆς κώμης , and P Mon I. 1 .7 (A.D. 574). For the metaph. usage of the verb we may cite Epict. ii. 6. 10 εἰ δέ γε ᾔδειν ὅτι νοσεῖν μοι καθείμαρται νῦν , καὶ ὥρμων ἂν ἐπ᾽ αὐτό , nay, if I really knew that it was ordained for me now to be ill, I should wish ( direct my impulse ) to be ill (Matheson), and Aristeas 270 ὃς γὰρ ἐπὶ τὸ πλεονεκτεῖν ὁρμᾶται , προδότης πέφυκε . The compd. ἐξορμάω (LXX) is seen in P Oxy IX. 1216 .20 (ii/iii A.D.) θεῶν γὰρ θελόντων σπεύδω ἐξορμῆσαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς , for with the help of the gods I am hastening to set out to you (Ed.).
