Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
περιτίθημι, ‘place around,” ‘‘clothe with,’’ as in Mt 2755, may be illustrated from PSI I. 6417 (i/B.c.?), where a woman who has offered to live with a man as his wife promises not to carry off certain articles of adornment if she leaves him— ἐὰν ἄλλα χρυσίου κόσμου μετὰ τὰ προκείμενα .. .]. ρησας μοι περιθῇς, οὐκ ἀπελε[ύ]σομαι αὐτ[ὰ] ἔχουσα. For the metaph. meaning ‘‘bestow,”’ “‘ confer,” as in 1 Cor 1255 (cf. Esth 12°), see BGU IV. 114139 (B.c. 14) εἰ σὺ μέν μοι καὶ τιμὴν περιτιθεῖς, P Giss I. 7gii 5 (c. A.D. 117) ὡς εἰμὶ γυνὴ [π]ᾶσαν σπουδὴν περιτίθεμαι, and OG/S 3315 (mid. ii/B.c.) ὅπως δὲ καὶ σὺ εἰδῆις ὅτι περιτεθείκαμεν (εἴ. Meisterhans Gr. p. 189) τὴν τ]ιμὴν καὶ ταύτ[ην] τῶι ᾿Αθηναίωι.
