Tobit 8:3 א ἀπέδραμεν τὸ δαιμόνιον ἄνω εἰς τὰ μέρη Αἰγύπτου —other authorities for this recension have εἰς τὰ ἄνω μέρη —raises some problems, on which reference may be made to Early Zoroastrianism, p. 338, and D. C. Simpson in loc. (Oxford Apocrypha). For the text as it stands good illustration may be found in the Egyptian documents, P Leid Di. 16 εἰς τοὺς ἄνω τόπους, ";ad loca superiora,"; and the contemporary OGIS 111.17 (after B.C. 163) ἐπὶ τῶν ἄνω τόπων [ταχθείς ]. Cf. P Petr II. 33 (a) A(i).10 (a steward’s account) ἄρτων τῶν ἀποσταλέντων σοι ἄνω, P Oxy IV. 744.8 (B.C. 1) (= Selections, p. 33) ἀποστελῶ σε ἄνω, ";I will send them up to you"; (from Alexandria) : on σέ = σοί, cf. Proleg. p. 64. For ἡ ἄνω κλῆσις in Philippians 3:14 the RV mg (= ";the call, Come up!";) is apparently presumed in Apoc. Baruch 4:1-37 (p. 87.33, ed. James) ἐν αὐτῷ μέλλουσιν τὴν ἄνω κλῆσιν προσλαβεῖν, καὶ τὴν εἰς παράδεισον εἴσοδον. A curious metrical epitaph (no. 69) in Prof. Calder’s Phrygian collection, dated by him after the middle of iv/A.D., begins
νῦν ἀγαπᾷς σὺ μαθεῖν τίς ἐγὼ ξένος, ἢ πόθεν ἦλθα;
ἐγ λεγεῶνος ἄνω θεμέν [ων ] βασιλεα μέγιστον,
which he renders ";from the legion of those that have set the mighty king on high."; In P Fay 101 verso i. 15 (an account, about B.C. 18) we find ἄνω · Παῦνι δ ̄̄ ἕως Ἐπεὶφ ι ̄ε ̄, where the editors explain ἄνω as indicating that the following dates ";Pauni 4 to Epeiph 15"; should have headed the account, instead of coming at the end. The superlative ἀνωτάτω occurs in P Lond 1170 verso (c).11 (A.D. 42) (= III. p. 107) τῇ ἀνωτάτω χρήσομαι τειμωρίᾳ, ";the highest penalty";—an unusual application : cf. Epict. iii. 24.84 ἡ ἀνωτάτω καὶ κυριωτάτη (sc. ἄσκησις). The compound ἐπάνω (q.v.) is represented in MGr.
