Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀνατρέπω. With Tit 1 οἵτινες ὅλους οἴκους ἀνατρέπουσιν διδάσκοντες ἃ μὴ δεῖ αἰσχροῦ κέρδους χάριν, we may compare P Par 63%*-% (ii/B.C.) τῆς πατρικῆς οἰκίας... ἔτι ἔνπροσθεν ἄρδην [ἀ]νατετραμμένης δι ἀσζω]τίας. The literal meaning is found in P Oxy I. 693 (A.D. 190) φέρουσαν εἰς δημοσίαν ῥύμην ἀνατρέψαντας, “they broke down (a door) leading into the public street,” and Sy// 8919 (ii/A.D.) εἰς γῆν avaτρέψει : the inscription quotes the LXX, but is pagan. For the subst. see P Oxy VI. 902! (c. A.D. 465) els τελείαν yap ἀνατροπὴν... περιέστην, “I have been reduced to complete ruin”’ (Edd.).
