Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
περικρύπτω, “‘conceal,”’ ‘‘hide.’’ Cf. Lk 133 περιέκρυβεν, a late impf. from a pres. περικρύβω, not found in the NT (see Blass Gr. , p. 41). For the simplex see Ev. Petr. 7 ἐκρυβόμεθα. MGr κρύβω. περικυκλόω, “encircle”? (Lk 1943) : cf. the iv/A.D. letter of a deacon to a bishop (see Archiv iv. p. 558), where the writer remarks—q yap εὐφημία σου, πάτερ, περιεκύκλωσεν τὸν κ[όσ]μον ὅλον ὡς ἀγαθὸν πατέρα (/. ἀγαθοῦ πατρός, Wilcken) (P Lond 9819 Ξε ΠΠ|. p. 242, Chrest. |. p. 157). Περικυκλωθέν is used adverbially in the late P Lond 483177 (a.p. 616) (ΞΞ 11. pp. 325, 328).
