προσφέρω, “bring to,” “‘ present,’’ is seen in P Fay 2117 (a.p. 134) τὰ βιβλία προσφέροντες o[t]s ὀφίλουσιν, ““ presenting their accounts to their creditors,” P Giss I. κοὐδ (a.p. 259) προσφέρων τῇ πόλει... δραχμὰς δεκαεπτὰ ὀβολόν, and P Meyer 23% (end iv/A.D.) παρὰ Τιθοῆτι τῷ προσφέροντί σοι ταῦτά pov τὰ γράμματα: cf. P Par 63!% (B.c. 164) (= P Petr IIL. p. 18) καλῶς ποιήσεις τὴν πᾶσαν προσενεγκάμενος ἐκτένειαν, ‘“‘you will do well in using every effort” (Mahaffy), and P Tebt I. 3318 (B.c. 112) (=Se/ections, p- 31) τὴν πᾶσαν προσενέγκαι σπουδήν. The force seen in Heb 127 appears in P Par 4659 (8.6. 152) (= UPZ i. p. 338) where Apollonius appeals to his brother Ptolemaeus to examine personally into his grievance against a third party—vopitw γὰρ μάλιστα τῶν ἄλλων παρακολουθήκοντά σε τῆι ἀληθείαι πικρότερον προσενεχθήσεσθ᾽ αὐτῶι, “‘when you have investigated the truth you will deal with him most severely ’’: cf. Sy// 371 (- 3. 807)13 (A.D. 54) προσενεχθεὶς φ[ι]λανθρώπως πᾶσι τοῖς πολείταις, aud P Lond 19125 (A.D. 41) 6(= ot) γὰρ (ἄρχοντες... 2 προσφορὰ μετριώτεροι ἡμεῖν προσενεκθήσονται Toy ἐν ταῖς ἀρχαῖς Χρόνον, ‘‘for the magistrates will behave with greater circumspection during their term of office ’’ (Bell). On the marriage contract P Oxy III. 496® (a.p. 127) the editors remark that ‘* προσφέρεσθαι is the word commonly used of property brought to the husband by the bride.” So in the oldest extant Greek papyrus P Eleph 14 (B.c. 311-10) (= Selections, p. 2) the bride is described as προσφερομένην εἱματισμὸν καὶ κόσμον valued at 1000 drachmae: similarly BGU IV. 11001! and 1104" (time of Augustus). In P Tebt II. 4071° (A.D. 199?) & σοι] προσηνέχθη is ‘what was settled” upon the writer's daughter. A somewhat similar use is seen in OG/S 22111 (p.c. 280-261) διὰ τὴν πρὸς ὑμᾶς εὔνοιαν προσενέγκασθαι πρὸς τὴν ὑμετέραν πόλιν, with reference to the gifting of royal land for the benefit of an adjoining city: see Dittenberger’s note. Grimm says the verb is ‘‘hardly to be found in native Greek writ.” for sacrificing. Something very like it comes in the legal report BGU IV. 1024" 29(iv/v a.p.) of the poor girl whom her mother sold to shame, who {aca [π]ροσεφέρετο τοῖς βουϊλομένοις] ὡς νεκρά. For the conative impf. in Heb 1117 προσέφερεν see Proleg. pp- 129, 238, 247, and for the double compound προσαναφέρω see P Tebt 1. 16% (B.c. 114) τυγχάνωι προσανενηνοχώ <s> σοι δι᾿ ἑτέρας ἐπισ(τολῆς), ‘I reported to you in another letter” (Edd.).
