συνχέω —
lit. ";pour together,"; ";confuse,"; is used metaph. in Acts 21:27 = ";stir up"; a multitude : cf. P Leid W xix. 38 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 149) ὁ κόσμος ὅλος συνχυθήσεται, and P Oxy XVI. 1873.4 (late v/A.D.) ἔχω συνκεχυ ̣[μ ]ένος το ̣υ ̣̣ς λογισμούς, ";I feel my reasoning faculties confused"; (Edd.).
