In late writers, to introduce or bring in secretly: II Pe 2:1.†
Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
παρεισάγω, lit. “‘ bring in from the side,” hence ‘‘ introduce” (2 Pet 21): cf. P Tor I 1% 4 (B.c. 116) προεφέρετο ἀλλότριον εἶναι τὸ παρεισαγόμενον ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, where παρα- does not convey any iJjea of secrecy or stealth, cf. s.v. παρεισφέρω. This applies also to the verb in Aristeas 20 εἴ τινες προῆσαν ἢ μετὰ ταῦτα παρεισήχθησαν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν, ‘any who were there before or had since been introduced into the kingdom ’’ (Thackeray), and in Apol. Aristides 8.
