Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀποκαθίστημι [page 62] For the meaning restore, give back, see P Petr III. 53 ( p ) .12 , where in connexion with certain arrears into which a priest had fallen provision is made πρᾶξαι τοὺς ἐγγύους αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡμῖν ἀποκαταστῆσ [α ]ι , that payment be exacted from his sureties and restitution made to us (Edd.). P Rein 17 15 (B.C. 109) may be cited for its grammar, noteworthy at this early date : ὅπως οἱ αἴτιοι ἀναζη̣τηθέντες ἐξαποσταλῶ [σ ]ι ἐπὶ τὸν στρατηγόν , [καὶ ] ἐμοὶ μὲν διαπεφωνημένα ἀποκατασ [τα ]θείη , οἱ δὲ αἴτιοι τύχωσι τῶν ἐξακολουθούντων . The passive ἀποκατασταθήσεται occurs in BGU IV. 1060 .28 (B.C. 23 2). OGIS 90 .18 (Rosetta Stone B.C. 196) ἀποκατέστησεν εἰς τὴν καθήκουσαν τάξιν . Syll 540 .34 (B.C. 175 1) if a workman breaks a stone, ἕτερον ἀποκαταστήσει δόκιμον . P Revill Mιl p. 295 .5 (B.C. 131 0) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 96) μέχρι τοῦ τὰ πράγματ᾽ ἀποκαταστῆναι , P Amh II. 48 .10 (B.C. 106) καὶ ἀποκαταστησάτω εἰς οἶκο [ν ] [π ]ρὸς αὐτὴν τοῖς ἰδίοις , shall deliver it to her at her house at his own expense (Edd.). P Oxy I. 38 .12 (A.D. 49 50) (= Selections , p. 53) ὑφ᾽ οὗ καὶ ἀποκατεστάθη μοι ὁ υἱός , ib. II. 278 .17 (hire of a mill A.D. 17) καὶ μετὰ τὸν χρόνον ἀπ [οκα ]ταστησάτωι ὁ μα̣νης (the servant) τὸν μύλον ὑγιῆι καὶ ἀσινῆι , οἷον καὶ παρείληφεν , ib , VI. 929 .17 (ii/iii A.D.) ἀποκαταστῆσαί μοι εἰς Ὀξυρυγχείτην ἐξ ὧν ἔσχον τὰ προκείμενα πάντα , etc. In the long land survey P Tebt I. 61( b ) .221 (B.C. 118 7) the question is asked with regard to certain land, εἰ [α ]ὐτὴ [ἀνταναι ]ρετέα [ἄλλη δὲ ] ἀπὸ ὑπολόγου ἀνταναιρεθεῖσα ἀποκαταστατέα , whether it should be deducted (from the cleruchic land) and other land subtracted from that in the unprofitable list should be substituted (Edd.) : cf. a land survey of the second century, where a holding that had become καθ᾽ ὕδατος ἀποκατεστάθ (η ) τῷ ἐνεστ [ῶτι ](ἔτει ), was reclaimed in the year in which the survey was written (P Oxy VI. 918 intr.). Note the passive in Vettius Valens, p. 68 .24 = ex captivitate redire (Ed.). For the double augment, which is found in the NT ( Mat_12:18 , Mar_8:25 , Luk_6:10 ), cf. such an occasional occurrence in the inscriptions as Calder 8 .8 ἀπεκατέστησεν , Letronne 525 .8 (ii/A.D.) ἀπεκατεστάθη , and similarly Archiv ii. p. 436, no. 31 (i/A.D.); also P Tebt II. 413 .4 (ii/iii A.D.) ἀπεκατέστησα . By the Byzantine period it had become very common. See further Winer-Schmiedel Gr. p. 103, and Brugmann-Thumb Gr. p. 311. Note the perf. ἀποκαθέστακεν , Syll 365 .7 (i/A.D.).
