ὑπομένω. For the trans. use of this verb ‘‘bear up,” ‘‘endure,” cf. PSI IV. 4351 (B.c. 258-7) (= Deissmann ZAZ?, p. 153) προσευξάμενος δίὲ] αὐ[τῶι, é]a[p με] ὑγιάσηι, διότι ὑπομενῶ τὴν ληιτο[υργ]ΐίαν, ‘but having prayed to him, if he would heal me, I said that I would endure my ministry,” P Oxy II. 237 4) 88 (Ἂν Ὁ, 186) δίκην ὑπομενοῦσι τὴν προσήκουσαν, “*will suffer the due penalty of their disobedience” (Edd.), P Hamb I. 22? (Christian—iv/a.D.) ὃς κακὰ πόλλ᾽ ὑπέμεινε μιῆς ἐπίηρα θυγάτρος, ‘who suffered many ills for the sake of his only daughter,” P Oxy IX. 11864 (iv./A.p.) τὸ τὴν διὰ τῶν ἱμάντων... αἰκείαν ὑπομένειν ἐστὶν μὲν Kal ἐπὶ τῶν δουλικὴν τύχην εἰληχότων ἀνιαρόν, ‘subjection to the punishment of scourging is even for those of servile estate lamentable ’’ (Ed.), cf. 7 τοιαύτην ὕβρειν ὑπομένειν, and 26. VI. 904° (v/A.D.) αὐτὸν τὸ ἀζήμιον πληροῖν τοῖ[ς] τὴν βλάβην ὑπομένουσιν, ‘that he would himself make up the loss to those who suffered injury ” (Edd.). The intrans. meaning ‘‘stay behind” (as in Lk 24%, Ac 1724) 1s seen in Petr II. (43(3)2* ((i/Bic.) διὰ πὸ Θεόδωρον ἀξιῶσαί με ὑπομεῖναι [ἕως ΠΠ]αῦνι t, ‘because Theodorus directed me to remain till the roth of Pauni” (Edd.), and PSI IV. 3224 (B.c. 266-5) ὑπόμεινον οὖν ἕῳ[ς ἂν] παραγένηται (sc. τὸ πλοῖον). Further exx. of the verb are—P Fay 11?! (c. B.c. 115) o]bx ὑπομένει ἑκουσίως ἀποδιδόναι, “he persistently refuses to pay voluntarily” (Edd.), P Amh II. 139?° (a.p. 350) ἡμεῖς αὐτοὶ τὸν ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ λόγον ὑπομενοῦμεν, “ we ourselves will be answerable for him” (Edd.), a similar formula in P Lond 974° (A.b. 305-306) (=TIII. p. 116), and from the inserr. OGZS 48488 (ii/A.D.) ὥστε μὴ τὴν τοῦ ὀμνύναι ἀνάγκην ὑπομένειν.
