ἀποστερέω / ἀφυστερέω [pages 69, 99] ἀποστερέω In the Cnidian defixio , Syll 814 .5 , we find τοὺς λαβόντας παρὰ Δ . παραθή [καν ] καὶ μὴ ἀποδιδόντας ἀλ [λ ]᾽ ἀποστεροῦντας : this brings together correlate verbs. Παραθήκην ἀ . will answer to the phrase in Pliny s letter to Trajan (96 .7 ) on the Christians oath ne depositum appellati abnegarent. C. H. Turner ( JTS xi. p. 19 n. .3 ) notes that in Mar_10:19 k reads ne abnegaveris, and ac non abnegabis, which he regards as the key to the formula in Pliny. For ἀ . absolute, as in Mk l. c. and 1Co_7:5 , cf. the petition of the Serapeum Twins P Par 26 .33 ff. (B.C. 163 2) (= Selections , p. 17) ἕτεροι τῶν ἐκ τοῦ Ἀσκληπιείου ὄντες πρὸς χειρισμοῖς , παρ᾽ ὧν ἔθος ἐστὶν ἡμᾶς τὰ δέοντα κομίζεσθαι , ἀποστεροῦσιν , others connected with the Asclepieum in the administration, from whom it is usual for us to receive what we need, are defrauding. It is construed with an acc., as 1Co_6:7 , in P Par 31 .33 (ii/B.C.) ἀποστεροῦντες [ἡμ ]ᾶς : cf. P Oxy II. 237 vi. 22 (A.D. 186) τῆς ὑπολειπομένης ἐμοὶ κατοχὴ̣ν̣ τῆς οὐσίας ἵνα μ᾽ αὐτὴν ἀποσ̣τ̣ῆται ( l. -στερῆ -) a desire to deprive me of the right which I retain over the property (Edd.). For the more normal constr. c. acc. pers. and gen. rei, see BGU IV. 1024 iv. 13 (iv/v A.D.) ποίας δὲ ἔσχεν ἐνθυμήσεις τὸν ἤδη κληθέντα (for κλιθέντα lying dead ) καὶ τῆς ἐσχάτης ἐλπίδας ( l. ος , of sepulture) ἀποστε [ρ ]ῆσαι ; P Ryl II. 114 .26 ( c. A.D. 280) οἰκίωται δὲ τῷ προκειμένῳ Σ . [ἐμὲ τὴν χήρα ]ν μετὰ νηπίων τέκνων ἀεὶ ἀποστερεῖν , ib. 116 .16 (A.D. 194) βουλόμενοι ἀποστερέσαι τῶν ἐμῶν . The simplex occurs in the earliest dated papyrus, P Eleph 1 .7 (B.C. 311 0) (= Selections , p. 3) στερέσθω ὧμ προσηνέγκατο πάντων . For the subst. see P Oxy I. 71 i. 10 (A.D. 303) ἐπὶ ἀποστερέσι τῇ ἡμετέρᾳ , to my detriment (Edd.). ἀφυστερέω P Flor I. 3 .17 (A.D. 301) ἐὰν δὲ ἀφυστερή [σ ]ω̣σι καὶ μὴ παραστήσωμε [ν ἡ ]μεῖς αὐτ [ο ]ὶ τὸν [ὑπὲρ ] αὐτῶν λόγον ὑπομ [εν ]οῦμεν , but if they fail, or if we do not make the arrangement, we hold ourselves responsible. A similar phrase is found ib. 34 .11 (A.D. 342), P Lips I. 54 .14 ( c. A.D. 376), ib. 56 .19 (A.D. 398), and PSI 86 .14 (A.D. 367 75). P Lond 1166 .13 (A.D. 42) (= III. p. 105) ἐὰν δὲ ἀφυστερῇ τὸ βαλανεῖον κα [ύ ]μ̣ασι , of a bath insufficiently warmed, gives us the word from the NT epoch itself.
