For the verb with the added idea of violence, as Mar_15:1 , see P Oxy I. 37 i. 18 (A.D. 49) (= Selections , p. 50) βούλεται ὀν [ό ]ματι ἐλευθέρου τὸ σωμάτιον ἀπενέγκασθαι , she wishes to (defend herself on the ground) that the foundling was carried off in virtue of its being freeborn, BGU I. 22 .29 ff.
