P Eleph 29.7 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ εὐκαιρῇς τ ̣[ο ]ῦ διαβῆναι —the river Nile. The verb is construed with εἰς, as Acts 16:9, in P Lille I. 6.3 (iii/B.C.) διαβάντος μου ἐκ Τεβέτνου εἰς Κορφότουν ἐπισκέψασθαι τὴν ἀδελφή [ν, P Fay 110.15 (A.D. 94) διάβα εἰς Διον [υ ]σιά [δα ] καὶ γνῶθι κτλ., ";go over to Dionysias and find out."; The special force of δια - seems diluted in some occurrences. Thus cf. the noun in P Tor I. 1viii. 20 (B.C. 116) (= Chrest. II. p. 38) ἐν ταῖς κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν γινομέναις τοῦ Ἀμμῶνος διαβάσεσιν εἰς τὰ Μεμνονεῖα, of a solemn procession : there δια - only acts as perfective, implying that a goal is reached, without dwelling on the nature of the intervening country. In P Leid Wvii. 20 (ii/iiiA.D.) a spell is given ἐὰν θέλῃς ἐπάνω κορκοδείλου διαβαίνειν, where the editor renders ";sin velis supra crocodilum incedere"; : if we press the δια -, we must assume that the desire is to ";cross"; the Nile on top of a crocodile (as distinguished from inside). In P Par 42.12 (B.C. 156) περὶ ἰδίου πράγματος διαβαίνων, we find a more general sense ";occupying himself with his own affair"; : cf. BGU III. 816.9 (iii/A.D.) ἄξιός ἐστιν πολλῶν, καὶ ἂν διαβῇ τὰ ἐκεῖ πολλά. The verb is apparently ";decide,"; ";adjudicate"; in Syll 216.7 (B.C. 262) ὃς ἀφικόμ [ενος τ ]ῶν δικῶν τὰς μὲν διέλυσεν τὰς δὲ διέβαινεν : so IG XII. 5. 125.11 (after B.C. 218) (see Schlageter, p. 60).
