ἀναπείθω; to stir up by persuasion (cf. German aufreizen), to solicit, incite: τινα τί ποιῆσαι, Act_18:13. So also in Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Xenophon, others.

ἀναπείθω anapeithō 1x to persuade to a different opinion, to seduce, Act_18:13 ἀνάπειρος anapeiros 2x also spelled ἀνάπηρος , maimed, deprived of some member of the body, or at least of its use, Luk_14:13 ; Luk_14:21

ἀνα -πείθω , [in LXX : Jer_29:8 ( H5377 hi .), 1Ma_1:11 * ;] to per\-suade, incite: Act_18:13 ( cf. MM , VGT , s.v. ).†

ἀναπείθω [page 37] This verb = persuadendo excitare, sollicitare, which in the NT is found only in Act_18:13 , is well illustrated by P Magd 14 .3f. (B.C. 221) where a father lodges a complaint against a courtesan who had induced his son to sign a bill in her favour for 1000 drachmas παραστησαμένη γάρ τινας [τῶν παρ᾽ αὐτῆς , ἀνέπεισεν τὸν υἱόν μου . . . συγγράψασθαι αὐτῆι κτλ . So P Oxy X. 1295 .10 (ii/iii A.D.). The sense of evil persuasion equally underlies the use in LXX Jer_36:8 [MT Jer_29:8 ], 2Ma_1:11 . In P Ryl II. 114 .8 ( c. A.D. 280) the nuance is weaker, but survives in the complaining tone of the aggrieved widow who writes Συρίων . . . ἀναπίσας τὸν ἄν [δρα Γανίδα ὀνό ]μ̣α̣τι ποιμένιν αὐτοῦ τὰ πρόβατα , persuaded my husband G. to pasture his flock (Edd.).

ἀναπείθω "to bring over, convince", Xen. :— Pass., Thuc. "to persuade, move" to do a thing, c. acc. pers. et inf., Hdt. , attic; ἀν. τινά τι "to persuade" one "of" a thing, Ar. "to seduce, mislead", τινά Hdt. , etc.
