σημειόω [page 573] σημειόω in mid. = mark for oneself, sometimes with the idea of disapprobation attached as in its only NT occurrence 2Th_3:14 : cf. Polyb. v. 78. 2 σημειωσάμενοι τὸ γεγονός with reference to a sinister omen, and see Lightfoot Notes , p. 133. The ordinary meaning is seen in such passages as Aristeas 148 παραδέδωκεν ὁ νομοθέτης σημειοῦσθαι τοῖς συνετοῖς εἶναι δικαίους , and OGIS 629 .168 (A.D. 137) ὁ κράτιστος ἐσημ (ε )ιώσατο ἐν τῇ πρὸς Βάρβαρον ἐπιστολῇ .

Wilcken Ostr . i. p. 82 ff.) : P Oxy I. 39 .4 (A.D. 52) ἀντίγραφον ἀπολύσεως . . . Φαρμοῦθ (ι ) κ̄θ̄ , σεσημ (ειωμένης ), copy of a release signed on Pharmouthi 29, ib .

For the compd. συσσημειόω , not in LS 8 . of. P Tebt II. 383 .61 (A.D. 46) Κρονίων συνσεσημίωμαι an authenticating signature. It may be added that σημείωσαι is used by the grammarians = nota bene.
