Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀντλέω. P Oxy VI. 985 (i/A.D., second half) ἀνηλώμα(τος) Φαύστῳ ἀντλοῦντι μηχα(νήν), P Lond 1177% (a.p. 113) (= IIL. p. 183) ἀντλούντων ἀπὸ πρωίας ἕως ὀψέ. In the late P Oxy I. 147 (A.D. 556) we have a receipt for a ‘‘ rope” or ‘‘ coil” provided by the monks for the machine in the garden of the Holy Mary ἐπὶ τῷ ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ εἰς τὴν ἁγί(αν) κολυμβήθραν, ‘‘ for raising water to fill the holy font.” The subst. ἀντλητής Occurs in P Lond 1177 (cited above), P Tebt I. 241 (B.C. 74) and P Strass I. 5215 (a.p. 151) ; and ἀντλία in BGU IV. 1120 (B.c. 5). For the compound ἀναντλέω used metaphorically, see P Vat Al (B.c. 168) (= Witkowski?, p- 65) τοιούτους καιροὺς ἀνηντληκυῖα : similarly P Hawara 567° (Ὁ late i/a.D.) (Archiv v. p. 382) ἀρρωστίαν ἰσοθάνατο(ν) [é&]qvtAnoa—presumably [ἀν]ήντλησα is as likely, in view of the parallel just cited.
