ἀνατέλλω; 1 aorist ἀνετειλα; perfect ἀνατεταλκα;
a. transitive, to cause to rise: τόν ἥλιον, Mat_5:45 (of the earth bringing forth plants, Gen_3:18; of a river producing something, Homer, Iliad 5, 777).
b. intransitive, to rise, arise: light, Mat_4:16 (Isa_58:10); the sun, Mat_13:6; Mar_4:6; Mar_16:2; Jas_1:11; the clouds, Luk_12:54; φωσφόρος, 2Pe_1:19. tropically, to rise from, be descended from, Heb_7:14. The earlier Greeks commonly used ἀνατέλλειν of the sun and moon, and ἐπιτέλλειν of the stars; but Aelian, Pausanias, Stobaeus, and other later writings neglect this distinction; see Lob. ad Phryn., p. 124f. (Compare: ἐξανατέλλω.)

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀνατέλλω [page 38]
Michel 466 .10 (iii/B.C.) ἅμα τῶι ήλίωι [ἀν ]ατέλλοντι , at daybreak. It is curious that the astrologer Vettius Valens has no instance of the verb, though he uses its derivatives freely. It survives in MGr. The cpd ἐπανατέλλω occurs in some would-be verse on the wall of a sepulchral vault at Ramleh, age of the Antonines : Preisigke 2134
Ἀστὴρ οὐράνιος ὁ ἐπὶ ἀστέρι ἐπανατέλλων
ἐσπάσθη .
