Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀναπείθω. This verb = ‘‘ persuadendo excitare, sollicitare,” which in the NT is found only in Ac 1813, is well illustrated by P Magd 1457: (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—tapactyoapévyn yap τινας [τῶν παρ᾽] αὐτῆς, ἀνέπεισεν τὸν υἱόν μου... συγγράψασθαι The sense of ? αὐτῆι κτλ. evil persuasion equally underlies the use in ΤᾺΝ Jer 36 (29)8, 1 Macc 14% In P Ryl II. 1148 (c. a.m. 280) the nuance is weaker, but survives in the complaining tone of the aggrieved widow who writes Συρίων . .. ἀναπίσας τὸν ἄνίδρα Γανίδα ὀνό]ματι ποιμένιν αὐτοῦ τὰ πρόβατα, “persuaded my husband G. to pasture his flock ” (Edd.).
