For the temporal use of δεῦρο , as in Romans 1:13, cf. P Lond 358.16 (c. A.D. 150) (= II. p. 172) μέχρι τοῦ δεῦρο πέρας οὐδέπω ἐπετέθη τῷ πράγματι , BGU I. 180.9 (ii/iii A.D.) μέχρι τοῦ δευρε [ί , P Strass I. 56.12 (ii/iiiA.D.), and ib. 73.16 (iii/A.D.) μέχρι δεῦρο , P Gen I. 47.6 (A.D. 346) μέχρι δεῦρου . In P Lond 409.26 (c. A.D. 346) (= II. p. 289) α ̣͗χρεις δευ ̣ͅρ ̣ο we have a close approach to the Pauline phrase. A form δεῦρε is found in the Attic inscriptions of B.C. 500–450 (see Meisterhans Gr. p. 146) : it belongs to the same impulse that produced the plural δεῦτε , through the common imperative use. In P Oxy X. 1297.15 (iv/A.D.) δεῦ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔνεγκεν τοὺς ἄμη ̣τ ̣ας , ";come here with him and bring the milk cakes,"; we have an instance of the imperatival δεῦρο , in an apocopated form. See Proleg. p. 172.
