78.47 · Degree · Completely, Enough [Completive Degree]

Collocation: εἰς τὸ παντελές

completely, totally, entirely, wholly a degree of completeness, with the possible implication of purpose or result It is also possible to understand the phrase εἰς τὸ παντελές as meaning ‘forever’ (see 67.95).
It is possible to translate this expression in LUK 13:11 as ‘she could not straighten up at all.’ The difference of interpretation in LUK 13:11 depends upon the scope of the phrase εἰς τὸ παντελές. If this phrase qualifies the negation, then the rendering is ‘she could not straighten up at all,’ but if the phrase εἰς τὸ παντελές qualifies just ἀνακύψαι, then the appropriate meaning would be ‘she could not straighten up completely.’

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

παντελής. The NT has this word only in the phrase εἰς τὸ παντελές, Lk 1314, Heb 775: so in P Lond 1164 (f/f) (a.D. 212) (ΞΞ ΠΙ. p. 161) a man sells some property ἀπὸ Tov viv eis TO παντελές. This would support a temporal meaning in Heb Zc. “το save finally,” which suits well the πάντοτε that follows: so long as our Intercessor lives our σωτηρία is assured. Cf. Syl 489! (c. B.C. 234) Toy ἀγῶνα παντελῆ, where the reference is to an interrupted contest, which had been brought to an end, and OG/S 642) (end of ii/A.D.) τὸ pynp(ejiov. . . ἔκτισεν... αὑτῷ τε Kal υἱοῖς αὑτοῦ καὶ υἱωνοῖς εἰς τὸ παντελὲς αἰώνιον τειμήν. sigke 53577 ὅσα πρὸς ἀνατροπὴν παντελῆ ἄγει τὸν συνηγορούμενον. In Lk /.c. the meaning is like that of παντελῶς in P Lille I. 26? (iii/B.c.) (= Witkowski®, p. 49) αὐτὴ (sc. γῆ) μὲν οὖν ἐστιν παντελῶς ἀπηρ[γ]μένη (“ὁ bare,” ** uncultivated’), P Lond 4237 (p.c. 168) (=I. p. 31, Selections, Ρ- II) παντελῶς ἀηδίζομαι, “1 am utterly distressed,” and P Oxy IT. 2811! (a.p. 20-50) παντελῶς ὄντα ἀνέγκλητον, ‘*being blameless in all respects”: cf. 2d. XII. 1469% (A.D. 298) παντελῶς διανύειν τὰ προσήκοντα, ‘to accomplish in full our duties,” and 24. IX. 11868 (iv/A.D.) οὐ μὴν κατὰ τὸ παντελὲς ἀπηγορευμένον, ‘‘ not entirely forbidden ”’ (Ed.). See also Prei-
