Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὑπάντησις, ‘a going to meet.’’ For the verbal phrase construed c. dat., as in Jn 1215, cf. P Giss I. 74° (ii/a.D.) Σ αιρήμονα ἐξεληλυθέναι] εἰς ὑπάντησιν Οὐλπιανῶι (according to the amended reading in Preisigke’s Worterb. s.v. ὑπάντησις). The word seems to be synonymous with ἀπάντησις (7.2. : cf. Proleg. Ὁ. 14, n.4), though, according to Lightfoot (Notes p. 69) ἀπάντησις is simply ‘‘meeting,’’ while ὑπάντησις involves the notion of ‘looking out for.” ὋὙπάντησις occurs ὀὲς in Syi/ 365 (=*798)!® προσέταξε τοῖς ἄρχουσι ψήφισμα ὑπαντήσεως εἰσηγήσασθαι, 3) ayaγεῖν δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν ὑπάντησιν καὶ τὸν ἐφήβαρχον τοὺς
