P Oxy III. 653 (b) (before A.D. 161) shows us this word in its colloquial sense—first found in Aristophanes—of ";beat,"; ";thrash"; instead of ";flay."; In the account of a trial regarding a mortgage upon the property of Voltimus which had been seized by the creditor, Sempronius Orestinus, the Praefect informs the latter that unless he makes restitution—οὐ μόνον κατακριθήσει ἀλλὰ καὶ δαρήσ [ει . So in Syll 737.91 (c. A.D. 175) ἔστω δὲ τὰ αὐτὰ ἐπιτείμια καὶ τῷ δαρέντι καὶ μὴ ἐπεξελθόντι παρὰ τῷ ἱερεῖ ἢ τω ̣̑ ἀρχιβάκχῳ , ἀλλὰ δημοσίᾳ ἐνκαλέσαντι : the δαρείς here has been called ὁ πληγείς a little earlier. It may be noted that for the ordinary rendering of 2 Corinthians 11:20 εἴ τις εἰς πρόσωπον ὑμᾶς δέρει , ";if any one smiteth you on the face,"; Paspati suggests (see Exp III. i. p. 238) ";if he upbraideth you to your face,"; in view of the MGr προσωποδέρει . The ordinary MGr verb δέρνω (aor. ἔδειρα ) = ";whip,"; ";beat.";
