Abbott-Smith Greek Lexicon

ἀπ-αγγέλλω,

[in LXX chiefly for נגד hi.;]

of a messenger, speaker, or writer, to report, announce, declare: c. acc. rei, Ac 4:23, al.; c. dat. pers., Mt 2:8, al.; seq. ὅτι, Lk 18:37; πῶς, Lk 8:36; περί, Lk 7:18 13:1, Ac 28:21, I Th 1:9; λέγων, Ac 22:26; c. acc. et inf., Ac 12:14; seq. εἰς, Mk 5:14, Lk 8:34 (MM, VGT, s.v.; Cremer, 25).

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀπαγγέλλω. The verb = ““σεροσῖΐ, announce ” (as Mk 68°) is found in PLond 4275 ff-(B.c. 168) (=I. p. 30, Se/ections, p. 11) ἔτι δὲ Kal’ Qpov τοῦ τὴν ἐπιστολὴν παρακεκομικόϊτο]ς ἀπηγγελκότος ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀπολελύσθαι σε ἐκ τῆς κατοχῆς παντελῶς ἀηδίfopar, ‘Sand now that Horus who brought the letter has reported about your having been released from your retreat, I am utterly distressed.” So P Tebt II. 2977 (c. A.D. 123) ἀπήνγ[ειλεν τὴν τάξιν ὡς ὀφείλουσαν πραθῆναι, ‘reported that the office ought to be sold.” Abbott, Joh. Voc. p. 164, has a good note on the force of ἀπ. = ‘report, bring word” in Jn 16%: he illustrates it from Epictetus. In the interesting proceedings before a Roman Emperor, P Oxy I. 33 (late ii/A.D.), the word seems almost to have the legal sense of “appeal,” as when the accused man exclaims, ¥- ° ff ; ὑπὲρ τῆς ἐμαυτοῦ εὐγενείας... amayyéAA[w], ‘I appeal on behalf of my nobility ” (Edd.). 2 ἐς
