Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

παραφέρω is found in pass. in Heb 133, Jude 12, = ‘“‘am turned aside.” Similarly Field (Vofes, p. 39) renders the act. παρένεγκε in Mk 14° “‘turn aside, cause (or suffer) to pass by,” and supports the rendering by various passages from Plutarch, e.g. Vit. Pelop. ix. τοῦ δὲ Φυλλίδου παραφέροντος τὸν λόγον, ““ letting the remark pass without notice.” We may add Plut. Arar. 43 τότε μὲν οὖν παρήνεγκε τὸ ῥηθέν, “*he let what was said pass without regarding it,” which the editor quotes for a similar meaning in P Eleph 11° (B.c. 223-222) σὺ δὲ ἕως Tod viv παρενήν[ οχ]ας ef...... ἘΞ ἢη πάνθ᾽ ὑπερθέμενος. ΠΠαρήνεγκα καὶ παρέδωκα is a common formula in tax receipts (Wilcken 4ychiv iil. p. 395): cf. also the interesting papyrus dealing with the apotheosis of Apis, P Gen I. 361° (A.D. 170) (= Chrest. I. p. 213) παρήνεγκα Kal παρέδωκα ὑπὲρ τοῦ προκειμένου ἱεροῦ ὑπὲρ ἀποθεώσεως Απιδος Θαώϊτος βυσσοῦ στολίσματος πήχεις δέκα, and BGU III. 974° (A.D. 380) (= Chrest. I. p. 500 f.) παρήνεγκα καὶ παραδέδωκα ὑμῖν els εὐθένειαν τῶν... στρατιωτῶν ἀπὸ δηληγατίονος κανόνος... οἴνου ξέστας δισχειλίους. For the meaning “Ὀτίησ forward,” ‘‘produce,”’ cf. P Amh II 8113 (a.p. 247) παρενενκεῖν αὐτὸν τοὺς β[ο]ηθοὺς αὐτοῦ, and P Flor II. 127° (a.p. 256) where a man writes that, in view of his arrival, the bath should be heated, and the wood for burning kept in readiness—kal δοκοὺς els αὐτὸ παρενεχθῆναι. See also the late P Oxy I. 13114 (vi/vii a.D.), 13574 (A.D. 579), and cf. Aristeas 316.
