If we adopt this interpretation, we must take the ground that Mark does not give us the true account of the matter, but has sadly corrupted the narrative received from others; [those who do accept it, however, not only lay stress on the almost unvarying lexical usage, but call attention to the fact that the other interpretation (see below) finds the leading idea ex. pressed in the par ticiple—an idiom apparently foreign to the N. T. (see W. 353 (381)), and to the additional circumstance that Mk. introduces the phrase after having already expressed the idea of ‘going’, and expressed it by substantially the same word (mapamopeveσθαι) which Matthew (xii. 1) and Luke (vi. 1) employ and regard as of itself sufficient.

The phrase μὴ ἄλλως ποιήσεις is used in cases of urgency as in the letter already quoted, 76. II. 294}" (A.D. 22) μὴ οὖν ἄλλως ποιήσις, ἐγὼ δὲ αὐτὸς οὕπω οὐδὲ ἐνήλεπα (= ἐναλήλιφα sc. ἐμαυτὸν) ἕως ἀκούσω φάσιν παρὰ σοῦ περὶ ἁπάντων, ‘be sure to do this; Iam not so much as anointing myself until I hear word from you on each point ” (Edd.). For the strong sense of ποιέω, ‘‘am effective,” as in the “‘working”’ of charms, cf. P Osl I. 141 (iv/a.bD.) εἰς πάντα ποιῶν, with the editors note. In P Oxy XII. 1480! (a.p. 32) πεπόητε εἰς τὸν ἐκλογιστήν, instead of the editors’ rendering ‘‘ he has made it (a delay spoken of) as far as the eclogistes is concerned (?),” Olsson (Papyrusbriefe, p. 75) thinks that ποιέω may be used for mpatrw—‘‘he has arranged it with the eclogistes.”’ The phrase ποιεῖν μετά τινος, ‘to act on someone's behalf,”” is common in the LXX (Gen 24" a/.), but in the NT is confined to Luke (e.g. 1°?, τοῦ, Ac 1477). It is often regarded as a Hebraism (Blass Gr. p. 134, Souter Lex. s.v., but see Ktihring, p. 35, Pro/eg. p. 106, Robertson (γ΄. Ρ- 610f.). The only instances we can quote from the papyri are late—BGU III. 9488 (iv/A.p.) καλιοότερεν (/. καλλιότερον). . . ἐποίησα peta σοῦ, 16. 7987 (Byz.) els “πάντα τὰ καλὰ ἃ ἐποίησεν μετὰ τῶν δούλων αὐτῆς.
