Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

συγκομίζω, “bring together, collect’: cf. P Ryl II. 1224 (a.p. 127) συνκομισάμενος τὰ πλεῖστα μ]έρη τῆς ἐκβάσεως τῶν ἐδαφῶν, ““Πανίηρ gathered the greater part of the produce of the fields” (Edd.), P Tebt II. 591 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐγὼ yap ἡ (4 εἰ μὴ συνκομίσω τὸν χόρτον ἐν τρισὶ ἡμέραις οὐ δύναμε (7. -μαι) αὐτὰ καταλῖψαι, and P Flor 11. 150° (A.D. 267) ὅταν γὰρ δεήσει τὰ παρά σοι θέρη συνκομισθῆναι πλείονα ἕξει βοηθεῖν σε. Souter (Zex. s.v.) suggests that in Ac 83 the verb may mean, not ‘take up” for burial (see Field ores, p. 116 f.) but ‘‘get back,’’ ‘“‘recover”; cf. the use of the mid. in such passages as BGU IT. 5308 (i/a.p.) (= Sevectzons, p. 62) μόνον διαγράφω τὰ δημόσια μηδὲν συνκομιζόμενος, “ only I continue paying the public taxes without getting back anything in return,’ and P Flor I. 58° (iii/A.D.) τοὺς φόρους συνκομιζομένη : see also Job 5 ὥσπερ θιμωνιὰ ἅλωνος καθ᾽ ὥραν συνκομισθεῖσα. For the subst. συνκομιδή cf. P Cairo Zen I. 590493 (see the editor’s note), P Fay 135% (iv/a.D.) Tod καιροῦ καλέσαντος τῆς συγκομιδῆς, ‘as the season requires the gathering’ (Edd.), and P Lond too1 (a.p. 539) (= III. p. 271) καιρῷ συγκομιδῆς [κα]ρπίῶ)γ. 3) εἰ
