Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
προστρέχω, “run up to,” ‘‘approach’’: cf. the metaphorical use in P Oxy II. 24712. (a.p. 90) ἀπογράφομ[αι τῷ ὁμογν]ησίῳ μου ἀδελίφῷ].. . . προστρέχοντι τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἡλικίᾳ, “1 register for my full brother who is approaching the legal age ’’ (Edd.). , προσφάγιον. In the private account P Oxy IV. 736% 89 (c. A.p. 1) a half obol and 2} obols respectively are set down for προσφάγιον, which the editors render ‘relish ” (similarly in 26. 7392-12). In the same account 5 5 & ὄψον and ὀψάριον are translated “‘sauce.”’ But the plentiful evidence from Hellenistic writers in Wetstein ad Jn 6® would seem to show that ὄψον and ὀψάριον meant “fish ’’ predominantly as early as Plato, and ordinarily in later times as in Athenaeus. In the same way, to judge from the papyrus evidence, προσφάγιον is Lest understood of some staple article of food of the genus fish, rather than of a mere ‘‘relish.” Thus in P Oxy III. 498% (ii/A.D.) it is provided that a stone-cutter’s wages are to be so many drachmae a day along with ἄρ]τον ἕνα kal προσ’ mpooparos ‘ φάγιον, and in P Grenf 11. 77%! (iii/iv A.p.) (= Selections, p- 121) provision is made ὑπί(ὲερ)] δαπάνης ἐν ψωμίοις καὶ προσφαγίοις (δραχμαὶ) is, ‘for outlays in delicacies and foods 16 drachmae.’’ It would, therefore, be to one of the articles of an ordinary meal that Jesus’ question referred in Jn 215, where the RV rendering is supported by the Lewis Syriac, and by @ of the Old Latin (a/igucd manducare). See further Field (odes, p. 109, and Abbott Joh. Gr. p. 193 f.
