Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
προσαναβαίνω. For the AV, RV rendering ‘‘go up higher” for προσανάβηθι in Lk 141°, Field (WVo/es, p. 66 f.) prefers ‘‘come up higher,” in order to give mpoo— its full force. For this meaning of approach to where the host is sitting cf. the use of the single comp?. ἀναβαίνω in Prov 257, and the use of προσβαίνω in such passages as P Oxy VII. 1028" (a.p. 86) τοὺς προσβαίνοντ(ας) εἰς τοὺς (τεσσαρεσκαιδεκαετεῖς), ‘those approaching the age of 14,’’ P Grenf II. 495 (A.p. 141) ᾿Ανουβᾶ προσβί(άντος) εἰς 18 (ἔτος) τῷ ἐνεστῶτι ε (ἔτει) ᾿Αντωνίνου.
