προσαγορεύω. For the meaning ‘“‘ designate,” as in Heb 510, cf. P Leid Ui 4 (B.c. 343) (=I. p. 124, UFZ i. p. 371) τὸν προσαyopevdpevoy ἀγυπτιστεὶ ᾿Ονοῦρει, ἑλλησνιστεὶ (/. ἑλληνιστὶ) 8” Apns : cf. Sy// 930 (= ὃ γος)55 (B.c. 112-1) ἄνδρας καλοὺς Kall] ἀγαθοὺς kal φίλους παρὰ δήμου καλοῦ κἀγαθοῦ + προσαγορεῦσαι, and 76. 349 (= 8.764)" (B.C. 45). The LXX usage ‘‘ greet,” ‘‘salute,’’ is seen in epistolary formulae such as P Oxy III. 526? (ii/A.p.) ΣΧ αίροις, KadoKatpe, Κύριλλός σε προσαγορεύω, ‘hail, Calocaerus: I, Cyrillus, greet you,” 76.

(= Se/ectéons, p. 127) πολλὰ προσαγωρεύ(ω) πάντεί --- αἷς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν ἐν κω. In P Lond 191257 (A.D. 41) Γερμανικὸς Καῖσαρ γνησιωτέραις ὑμᾶς φωναῖς προσαγορεύσας, Bell thinks there is a reference ‘‘to some definite speech or speeches delivered by Germanicus.
