παραγίνομαι [page 481] The use of παραγίνομαι as a synonym for ἔρχομαι , which Thackeray ( Gr. i. p. 267) thinks may be of Ionic origin, is common in the LXX and later Greek generally (cf. Glaser De ratione , p. 36 f.). In the NT it is mainly confined to the Lucan writings, but Harnack ( Sayings of Jesus , p. 86) goes too far when he asserts that it is a choicer ( gewδhlter ) word than ἦλθον : (cf. Luk_19:16 ; Luk_19:18 ). This is true to about the same extent as it is that arrive is choicer than come. In Witkowski s collection of Ptolemaic private letters παραγίνομαι occurs some thirty times, four of them being in letters of men marked as non eruditorum e.g. P Eleph 13 .2 (B.C. 223 2) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 42) παραγενομένου Σανῶτος ἐκομισάμην τὴν παρὰ σοῦ ἐπ̣ιστολήν , P Oxy IV. 743 .23 (B.C. 2) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 129) παραγενομ (ένου ) γὰρ Δαμᾶτος εἰς Ἀλεξάνδρειαν ἤλθαμεν ἐπὶ Ἐπαφρόδειτον . Other exx. of παραγίνομαι from Ptolemaic times are P Hib I. 55 .3 (B.C. 250) παραγενοῦ εἰς Ταλαὼν ἤδη , come to Talao at once, P Lond 42 .12 f. (B.C. 168) (= I. p. 30, UPZ i. p. 300, Selections , p. 10), ἐπὶ δὲ τῶι μὴ παραγίνεσθαί σε [πάντω ]ν τῶν ἐκεῖ ἀπειλημμένων παραγεγο [νό ]των ἀηδίζομαι , but that you did not return when all those who were shut up with you returned distresses me, and P Par 43 .5 (B.C. 153) (= UPZ i. p. 323) παραγενομένου ( l. παραγενοῦ ) δὲ εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν , which Wilcken understands as an invitation to a marriage. From Roman times we have P Oxy II. 291 .9 (A.D. 25 26) μ [έχ ]ρι ὑγια [ί ]νων παρ [α ]γένωμαι , until I come in peace, BGU II. 531 ii. 17 (A.D. 70 80) ἄχρι οὗ πα [ρ ]αγενάμενος (for form cf. Blass-Debrunner § 81. 3) ἐγ̣[ὼ ] σώσωι . . ., P Ryl II. 232 .3 (ii/A.D.) ἅμα τῷ [παρα ]γενέσθαι τὸν στρ [ατη ]γὸν εἰς τὴν Ἡράκλειαν , as soon as the strategus arrived at Heracleia, P Oxy IX. 1220 .23 (iii/A.D.) ἐὰν παραγένῃ σὺν θεῷ , if you come, D.V. (Ed.), and the Christian commendatory letter ib. VIII. 1162 .7 (iv/A.D.) τὸν ἀδελφὼ (= ὸ )ν ἡμῶν Ἀμμώνιον παραγινόμενο̣ν πρὸς ὑμᾶς σ̣υ̣ν̣δέξασθαι αὐτὸν ἐν ἰρήνῃ , our brother Ammonius, who is coming to you, receive in peace (Ed.). Notwithstanding AV and RV, the primary sense of the verb in 2Ti_4:16 is still came, the idea of help arising from the use of the dat., here only in NT. From the inscrr. note Syll 554 .16 (beg. ii/B.C.) εἰς τὸ καθ᾽ ἑξάμηνον παραγινόμενον δ [ικαστήριον , with reference to a six-monthly judicial circuit in Magnesia,
