Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Syll 329.49 (i/B.C.) ἀναλαβόντας τὰ ὅπλα, ";taking up,"; literally. P Tebt II. 296.4,.15 (A.D. 123) has the verb twice = ";receive."; OGIS 383.135 (see under ἀνάλημψις) κόσμον Περσικῆς ἐσθῆτος ἀ [ν ]αλαμβάνων, uses it for the first investiture (with the sacred thread of Parsism, presumably : cf. on this inscr. the Hibbert Lectures, 1912, pp. 106–8). PSI 74.5 ff. (iii/A.D.) ἀξ ̣ιω ̣ ἀναλαβόντας παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὴν ὁμολογίαν ὑπογεγραμ ̣μένην. In P Lille I. 14.5 (B.C. 243–2) ἀνάλαβε δ᾽ [οὖν α ]ὐτοῦ τὸν κλῆρον εἰς τὸ βασιλικόν, and P Oxy III. 471.99 (ii/A.D.) τὴν οὐσίαν αὐτοῦ. . . ἀναλημφθῆναι (μ erased) κελεύεις, the verb has the meaning ";confiscate"; : so Perg I. 249.24 (ap. Schweizer Perg p. 203). In P Oxy VI. 899.37 (A.D. 200) ᾧ ἀνείλημπται ἐπιστολὴ τοῦ κρα [τίστου ] δι [ο ]ικητοῦ, the editors translate ";to which is joined a letter of his highness the dicecetes,"; and quote ib. 985 and BGU I. 168.24 τοῖς ὑπομνήμασι ἀνελήμφθη. The participle τὰ ἀνειλημμένα = ";obligations"; is found P Oxy IV. 707.25, .35 (c. A.D. 136). Cf. the phrase ἔρανον ἀ., in BGU IV. 1165.15 (B.C. 19), ὧ ̣ι ̣ α ̣̓ν ̣ι ̣λ ̣η ̣φα ̣ν ̣ [κατὰ συν ]γραφὴν ἐράν ̣ω ̣ι ̣. P Lond 905 (ii/A.D.) (= III. p. 219) has ἀναλημπθῆναι and the noun ἀναλήμπτες in a very illiterate document. ";Repeat,"; of an advocate setting forth his case, is the meaning in P Tor I. 1vi. 20 (B.C. 116) (= Chrest. II. p. 36) ἀναλαβὼν ἐξ ὧν παρέκειτο ὁ Ἑρμίας ";repetens quae Hermias protulit"; (Peyron). The Biblical use of ";take up"; for an ascension into heaven is naturally not paralleled in our sources : for exx. in Jewish writings see Charles’s note on Apoc. of Baruch, p. 73.
