φυτεύω [page 679]
plant : P Petr I. 29 .4 (iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 30) πεφύτευται δὲ καὶ ἡ ἄμπελος πᾶσα , so 15 , PSI IV. 433 .6 (B.C. 261 0) οὐκ ἐφυτεύθη οὖν ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας Ὀασιτικά , P Flor II. 148 .12 (A.D. 266 7) τῶν φυτευομένων τόπων , and P Oxy XVI. 1911 .104 (A.D. 557) ὑπὲρ (ἀρου .) β̄ φυτευθ (εισῶν ) ἐν ἀμπέλ (ῳ ).
In his note on 1Co. 3:6 ( Notes , p. 187 f.) Lightfoot refers to the application by the Fathers of ἐφύτευσα to the work of educating the catechumens as a significant ex. of a general fault of patristic exegesis, the endeavour to attach a technical sense to words in the NT which had not yet acquired this meaning.
