Vocabulary of the Greek NT

κινέω is used in the sense of moving away from a place in PSI V. 534.6 (iii/B.C.) οὐ δύναμαι οὖν ἐντεῦθεν κινηθῆναι ἕως ἂν τ ̣[οὺ ]ς λοιποὺς ἀποστείλωι (for form cf. Mayser Gr. p. 1 34 f.), and similarly of articles in P Oxy VIII. 1121.18 (A.D. 295) ἐπιστάντες τοῖς καταλιφθεῖσι ὑπ᾽ αὐτῆς κεινουμένοις τε πλείστοις, ";possessing themselves of the extensive movables left by her"; (Ed.). Two lines earlier in this last papyrus the verb is used metaphorically—τίνι λόγῳ ἢ πόθεν κεινηθέντες, ";on what ground or with what impulse"; (Ed.) : cf. the very illiterate ib. III. 528.13 (ii/A.D.) οὕτως ὑ λόγυ συ καικίνηκάν με, ";so much have your words moved me,"; also BGU I. 8ii. 8 (A.D. 247) ἔν ̣ [τε ] κεινητοῖς καὶ ἀκεινητοῖς, and P Gen I. 54.32 (iv/A.D.) οὐκ ἠθελήσαμεν τὸ πρᾶγμα κινῆσαι. This last ex. leads to the stronger sense of ";stir,"; ";excite,"; as in the account of a Jewish revolt at Alexandria, P Par 68A.6. (Rom.) θορυβ ]ὸς ἐκινήθη (cf. Acts 24:5), and in P Oxy II. 237vii. 26 (A.D. 186) where an advocate slates that his client had had good reason for being provoked—μὴ χωρὶς λόγου. . κεκεινῆσθαι. With the usage in Acts 17:28 Sharp (p. 76) compares Epict. ii. 20. 18 πῶς γὰρ δύναται ἄμπελος μὴ ἀμπελικῶς κινεῖσθαι, ἀλλ᾽ ἐλαϊκῶς;
