Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
προσδέομαι. In support of the view that in Ac 173 προσδέομαι means “need 7% addition,’ as against the AV, RV rendering “need,” the following exx. of the verb may be cited :— P Petr II. 37} 18 (iii/B.c.) (=p. [119]) ὃ γὰρ καιρὸς οὐδεμιᾶς ὑπερβολῆς προσδεῖται, ““ for the time allows of no further delay,’ P Lille I. 518 (B.c. 260-59) διὰ τὸ προσϑεῖσθαι μέρος τι τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ πωολογίας, ‘ because a part of his land has still need of poologia,’’ P Flor I. τ (A.D. 153) μὴ προσδεομένοις ἀνανεώσεως, ‘needing no renewal,” and 26. 5618 (A.D. 234) καὶ ἐν ols ἄλλοις αὐτοῦ mpoc [op Jay περὶ τούτων. Cf. P Ryl IL. 155'® (A.p. 138-161) καὶ μὴ προσδεομένηίς} ἑτέρου [τινὸς αὐτῇ συναπογραφομένο]υ, ‘having no need of the concurrence of any other person” (Edd.), P Oxy IX. 1200* (A.D, 266) οὐ προσδεόμενος ἑτέρας pov εὐδοκήσεως ἢ μεταλήμψεως, “without requiring any further consent or concurrence from me” (Ed.), See also Field JVo/es, p- 1271. In other passages the force of mpoo—, though not so obvious, is not excluded, e.g. P Par 631°4 (B.c. 154) (=P Petr ΠῚ. p. 30) τῶν προσδεομένων κωμῶν, “the needy villages,” i.e. “villages needing more than they have,” P Tebt I. 59% (B.C. 99) é οἷς ἐὰν προσδεῆσθέ pou ἐπιτάσσοντές μοι προ10 προσδοκία θυμότερον, “50, whatever you may require, do not hesitate to command my services” (Edd.), and P Oxy IV. 743% (B.C. 2) ἐν ols ἐὰν σοῦ προσδεῆται συνπροσγενέσθαι αὐτῶι, “whatever service he may require from you, stand by him” (Edd.). The subst. προσδέησις in Zfpicurea p. 28° (ed. Usener) ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ kal φόβῳ kal προσδεήσει τῶν πλησίον ταῦτα γίνεται has the meaning ‘‘need,” ‘‘ want,” the προσ-being apparently otiose.
