Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀναστατόω [page 38]
Nowhere in profane authors, says Grimm. Its place in the vernacular is proved, however, with singular decisiveness by a private letter almost contemporary with the Biblical citations. BGU IV. 1079 .20 (A.D. 41) (= Selections , p. 40), μὴ ἵνα ἀναστατώσῃς ἡμᾶς , do not drive us out, and later by the boy s letter, P Oxy I. 119 .10 (ii/iii A.D.) (= Selections , p. 103) ἀναστατοῖ με · ἆρρον ( l. ἆρον ) αὐτόν , he quite upsets me off with him : cf. also P Strass I. 5 .16 (A.D. 262) ἀν [άσ ]τ̣ατο̣ν τ̣ὸν πρ̣[ε ]σβύτην π̣[ε ]π̣οίηντα [ι ] a reversion to the classical locution.
