G394 ἀνατίθεμαι (anatíthemai)

ἀνα-τίθημι : 2 aor. mid. ἀνεθέμην ; [in various senses fr. Hom. down]; in the mid. voice to set forth a thing drawn forth, as it were, from some corner (avd), to set forth [in words], declare, [R. V. lay before]: τινί τι, Acts xxv. 14; Gal. ii. 2, (2 Mace. iii. 9; [Μῖο. vii. 57; Artem. oneir. 2, 64 τινὶ τὸ ὄναρ; Diog. Laért. 2, 17, 16 p. 191 ed. Heubn.; Plut. amat. narr. p. 772d.) Cf. Fritzschiorum Opusce. p. 169; [Holsten, Zum Evang. des Paulus u. 4. Petrus p. 256 sq. Comp.: προσ-ανατίθημι.]

ἀνατίθημι anatithēmi 2x

in NT only mid., to submit to a person’s consideration, statement, or report of matters, Acts 25:14; Gal. 2:2*

ἀνα-τίθημι,

[in LXX chiefly for חרם (Cremer, 546);]

to lay upon, set up, etc. Mid. -εμαι, in late writers (Plut., al.; v. also MM, VGT, s.v.), to set forth, declare: Ac 25:14, Ga 2:2.†

ἀνατίθημι. Note the perfect active ἀνατέθηκα in Sy// 604! (Pergamon, end of iii/B.c.). This is a later example of what is now known to be the classical form of the perfect of τίθημι, which only in the Hellenistic age was replaced by τέθεικα. The late sense ‘‘impart,” “communicate,” with a view to consultation, found in the two NT occurrences of the word (Ac 2514, Gal 2?; cf. 2 Macc 3%) seems to appear in P Par 6975 (A.D. 233) ἀναθέμενοι τὸ πρᾶγμα ἀκ[έραιον]. In P Strass I. 417 (A.D. 250) ὥστε οὐκ ἂν ἔχοι ἀναθέσθαι τὴν “ Slkn[v εἰς ἑτέραν ἡμέραν] the verb = “postpone.” The active = “‘ dedicate’’ occurs everywhere. ἀνατολή. For the use of the plural to denote ‘‘the east,” found unambiguously in Mt 2? (cf. 811, 2427, Lk 1329), we can ’ , ανατρέπω quote the new parchment from Media, presumably the home of these Magi, P Said Khan 2%8 (p.c. 22), where we read ὅρια καὶ γειτνίαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνατολῶν. Cf. also the Alexandrian sundial inscription in Preisigke 3583 (iii/B.c.) περιφερειῶν τῶν ἐφε[ξ]ῆς τῶν διατεινουσῶν ἀπ᾽ ἀνατολῶν ἐπὶ δύσεις. For the same phrase without the ellipsis, as in Rev 72 A ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου, cf. OG/S 225% (iii/B.c.) ἀπὸ ἡλίου ἀνατολῶν. For the singular in the same sense see OG/S 199% (i/A.D.), where ἀπὸ ἀνατολῆς is opposed to ἀπὸ δύσεως, and Sy// 740% (A.D. 212) ᾧ γείτον[εἸς [ἀπ]ὸ μὲν ἀνατολῆς [ot] ᾿Εἰπαφρᾶ κληρ[όνομοι]. The more literal sense—which seems probable in Mt 25. 3, from the otherwise motiveless substitution of sing. for plural—appears in the calendar of P Hib I. 27% (B.c. 301-240) πρὸς τὰς δόσεις (1. δύσεις) Kal ἀ[να]τολὰς τῶν ἄστρω[ν], and in P Tebt II. 276% (ii/iii A.D.) [ἐν τῇ ἑ]ῴᾳ ἀνατολῇ, the heliacal rising of Venus. Time, instead of point of compass, is indicated in P Oxy IV. 725” (A.D. 183) ἀπὸ ἀν[ατολῆς] ἡλίου] μέχρι δύσεως, P Ryl I. 2758 (astronomical—iii/A.pD.) pera ἃ ὥραν ἔγγιστα τῆς τοῦ (ἡλίου) ἀνα[το]λῆς, “1 hr. approximately after sunrise” (Ed.). Similarly in BGU IV. 102115 (iii/a.p.) where, in apprenticing a slave to a hairdresser for instructions, his master undertakes to produce him daily ἀπὸ ἀνατολῆς ἡλίου μέχρι δύσεως τρεφόμενον καὶ ἱμ[α]τιζόμενον. A nearly identical phrase in the “shorter conclusion” of Mark presumably has the other meaning—atrds ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἀπὸ ἀνατολῆς καὶ ἄχρι δύσεως ἐξαπέστειλεν δι᾿ αὐτῶν τὸ ἱερὸν καὶ ἄφθαρτον κήρυγμα τῆς αἰωνίου σωτηρίας. In MGr it means either ‘‘east” or ‘* Asia Minor.
