Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

πατάσσω I. 931} (A.D. 569), the parties complain—ék σκαιοῦ πονηροῦ ϑαίμονος πίε]πόνθαμεν. Note also πάσχω ἀπόκρισιν, which occurs fey in P Oxy XVI. 18558, 10,14. (vi/vii Α.}.}» and is understood by the editors, ‘‘ get a favourable response” to certain demands. The document is late, but the curious phrase may perhaps be taken as illustrating the good sense which is sometimes given to the verb in Gal 35. For the meaning ‘‘experience ill treatment,” ‘suffer’ bodily or otherwise, we may cite P Amh II. 784 (a.p. 184) βίαν πάσχων ἑκάστοτε ὑπὸ “Exioews, “1 am constantly suffering violence from Hekusis,’” PSI [V. 2997 (iii/A.D.) τραχώματα (‘‘roughnesses”’) ἔσχον καὶ δεινὰ πέπονθα (for form, see Proleg. p. 154), P Oxy VIII. 11201 (early 111[4.}..} περὶ ἧς (sc. ὕβρεως) πέπονθεν ἐπὶ τόπων ὁ ἀνὴρ τῆς θυγατρός μου Πολυδεύκης, ‘‘concerning the outrage suffered at his abode by my son-in-law Polydeuces’’ (Ed.), and the Christian P Fay 1368 (iv/A.D.) εἸϊδότες ὅτι ἔχετέ pe is ὅσ᾽ ἂν πάσχετε, θεοῦ βοηθοῦντος, “knowing that you have me to aid in whatever you may suffer, the Lord helping you” (Edd.). ,
