Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀναστατόω. “Nowhere in profane authors,” says Grinim. Its place in the vernacular is proved, however, with singular decisiveness by a private letter almost contemporary with the Biblical citations. BGU IV. 10792 (a.p. 41) (= Selections, p. 40), μὴ ἵνα ἀναστατώσῃς ἡμᾶς, ‘do not drive us out,’ and later by the boy's letter, P Oxy I. 119! (ii/iii A.D.) (= Selections, p. 103) ἀναστατοῖ pe " dppov (1. dpov) αὐτόν, ‘he quite upsets me—off with him”: cf. also P Strass I. 51° (a.p. 262) ἀν[άσήτατον τὸν πρί εἸἰσβύτην π[ε]ποίηντα[ι]7--α reversion to the classical locution.
