Christian amulet, BGU III. 954°% (= Selections, p. 134), we find—pd[oar ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς troly|npl las, in accordance with the AV interpretation of Mt 6%. Cf, however, the inser. on a very old church in central Phrygia --Αρχάνγελε Μιχαήλ, ἐλέησον τὴν πόλι σου κ[α]ὶ pion αὐτὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηρ(οῦ) (C. and B. ii. p. 741 No. 678). As exx. of the verb we may add P Lond 4134 (c. A.D. 346) (= II. p. 301) εἰὔχομ]αι σ΄. ]w τῷ θεῷ περὶ [τῆ]ς σωτ]ηρίας ἵνα ῥύσει σαι ἀπὸ. .., and the inscr. on a statue in honour of Hadrian erected a.p. 125, Sy// 383 (= *835 A)? Αὐτοκράτορι ᾿Αδριανῷ σωτῆρι, ῥυσαμένῳ kal θρέψαντι τὴν ἑαυτοῦ “Ἑλλάδα. The verb and its constructions are fully illustrated by Chase 7he Lora’s Prayer p. 71 ff.
