προπάσχω, “«suffer previously.” To the citations in 1,58 for this NT dar. eip. (1 Thess 2) we may add Menander Fyagm. p. 200, fr. 696. [An interesting instance of the comp? προσπάσχω occurs in the letter P Lond 1929 (mid. iv/a.D.), which the editor thinks may have been written by the great Athanasius himselr.
