With reference to the use of this verb in 1 Peter 2:24, Deissmann has argued (BS p. 88 ff.) that the writer may have had in view the forensic usage to denote the imposing of the debts of another upon a third, in order to free the former from payment : he compares P Petr I. 16(2).10 (B.C. 237) περὶ δὲ ων ἀντιλέγω ἀναφερομέν [ων εἰς ἐμὲ ] ὀφειλημάτων κριθήσομαι ἐπ᾽ Ἀσκληπιάδου, ";as to the debts laid upon (or against) one, against which I protest, I shall let myself be judged by Asclepiades."; Any direct suggestion of substitution or expiation would thus be foreign to the Petrine passage, the writer’s thought being simply that the sins of men were removed from them, and laid upon the cross. On Syll 813.11 ἀνενέγκα [ι ] αὐτὸς παρὰ Δ [άμ ]ατρα (sc. garments deposited with some one who refused to return them), Dittenberger suggests somewhat doubtfully that the objects are, as it were, brought to the goddess as evidence of the wrong done. The meaning would then be closely akin to that in P Petr II. 38 (b).5 ὅπως ἀνενέγκωμεν ἐπὶ Θεογένην, ";that we may report it to Theogenes,"; ib. III. 46 (1).8 ἕως ἂν ἐπὶ τὸν διοικητὴν ̣α ̣̓ν ̣ε ̣ν ̣ε ̣.γκ ̣ω ̣μ ̣ε ̣ν, 04 .5 ἀνενήνοχεν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς. . . συγγραφήν, ";has submitted to us a contract"; (Edd.), et alibi. Here we have the verb followed by ἐπί c. accusative, but the accusative is of a person, a difference which also seriously weakens the applicability of the parallel drawn by Deissmann for 1 Peter 2:24. We must not further discuss this difficult passage here.
One or two miscellaneous examples of the verb may be added. It is used of ";transference"; from a village prison to the prison of the metropolis in P Lille I. 7.17 (iii/B.C.) νυνὶ δὲ ἀνενήνοχέν με εἰς τὸ ἐν Κροκοδίλων πό (λει) δεσμωτήριον, and of the ";registration"; of the death of a priest in the official list in P Lond 281.15 (A.D. 66) = (II. p. 66) ὅπως ἀνε ̣νεχθῇ ἐν [τοῖς ] τετελευτη [κό ]σι. In P Ryl II. 163.13 (A.D. 139) ὁπηνίκα ἐὰν αἱρῇ ἀνοίσω δημοσίῳ [χρηματισμῷ ] is ";whenever you choose, I will make the notification by an official deed"; : see parallels in the note, showing ἀναφέρω and ἀναφορά to be ";vague terms"; covering a variety of forms of documentation where an official reference is implied. The verb is common in connexion with the payment of monies, e.g.P Lille I. 11.6 (iii/B.C.) of grain; P Gen I. 22.4 (A.D. 37–8), P Flor I. 1.23, .30 (A.D. 153), P Tebt II. 296.13, 315.35 (both ii/A.D.). Other occurrences are Syll 588.115 (ii/B.C.), Michel 1007.10 (ii/B.C.) οὐδεμίαν ἀνενέγκαντες τῶι κοινῶι δαπάνην, P Rein 26.15 (B.C. 104) ἅμα τῆι συγγραφῆι ταύτηι ἀναφερομένηι, BGU IV. 1124.5 (B.C. 18) ἣν ἀνενηνόχασιν αὐτῶι. . . συνχώρησιν (cf. 1157.3), P Lond 1170 verso.31 (A.D. 258–9) (= 111. p. 195).
The subst. ἀναφορά (which is MGr) is common in the sense of ";instalment,"; e.g.P Hib I. 114.4 (B.C. 244) [ἔσ ]τιν δὲ ἡ ἀναφορὰ ἀπὸ Μεχεὶρ [ἕω ]ς Φαῶφι μηνῶν θ ̄ κτλ., ";the instalment for the nine months from Mecheir to Phaophi is . . ."; P Eleph 17.19 ff. (B.C. 223–2) ἧς τὴν πρώτην ἀναφορὰν καταβεβλήκασιν. . . διὰ τὸ μὴ εἰσχύειν αὐτοὺς καταβαλεῖν τὰς λοιπὰς ἀναφοράς, P Lond 286.18 (A.D. 88) (= II. p. 184) ἃς κ (αὶ) διαγράψομεν ἐν ἀναφοραῖς δέκα κατὰ μ [ῆνα ], P Iand 26.18 (A.D. 98) τ ̣ὸν [δὲ ] φόρον ἀποδόσωι. ε ̣̓[ν ἀν ]α ̣φορ ̣αι ̣̑ς ̣ τέσσα ̣ρσι. In P Oxy I. 67.4 (A.D. 338) it means ";petition";—ἐνέτυχον διὰ ἀναφορᾶς τῷ κυρίῳ μου κτλ.
