Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
προμαρτύρομαι σιν, ‘‘within the five days named from the day on which they settle it with one another.” Here the προ-- simply implies that the terms of the contract have been discussed beforehand, and then embodied in the legal document. For this ordinary time sense in the NT, cf. 2 Cor 13%, Gal 57, ana I Thess 3* (with Milligan’s note). In Karbe/ 6214 (ii/ili A.D.) ὃς προλέγει θνατοῖς εὐφροσύνης μετέχειν, the editor renders προλέγει by “‘hortatur ” (see Index s.v.).
