This NT ἅπ. εἰρ. = ";rebuke,"; ";reprove"; (1 Timothy 5:1), may be illustrated by BGU IV. 1138.22 (B.C. 19) καὶ αὐτὸ (ν) ἐ ̣π ̣ι ̣π ̣λ ̣ῆ ̣ξ ̣αι καταξίως, and P Flor II. 241.2 (A.D. 254) . . . απιτ. . ν ἢ τοὺς σὺν αὐτῷ ἐπιπλήσσιν, where the editor translates ";punish."; The same strong sense appears in the use of the subst. (cf. 2 Maccabees 7:33) in P Tebt I. 41.23 (c. B.C. 119) τύχηι τῆς ἁρμοζούσης ἐπιπλήξεως, ";may receive suitable punishment"; (Edd.), and so P Tor I. 1 iii. 14 (B.C. 117–6). A good parallel to the NT passage is afforded by Epict. Ench. xxxiii. 16 with reference to approaches to indecent speech—ἂν μὲν εὔκαιρον η, καὶ ἐπίπληξον τῷ προελθόντι, ";rebuke him who makes the approach"; (see Sharp Epict. p. 72 f.), and for the sense of severity in the word cf. Eustath. on Hom. Il. x. 500 τὸ ἐπιπλ. καὶ κόπτειν λέγεται —ἔτι δὲ καὶ μαστίζειν —ἀφ᾽ οὗ καὶ τὸ λόγοις ἐπιπλήσσειν εἴρηται (cited by Wetstein ad 1 Timothy 5:1). See also Field Notes, p. 209.
