Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The verb is found = ";decide"; in P Tebt I. 17.2 (B.C. 114) ἐπεὶ διέγνωσται, and ib. 55.2 (private letter—late ii/B.C.) ἐπεὶ διέγνωκα ἐξοδεύσειν ε [ἰ ]ς Τεβτῦνιν τῆι η ̄ ἔκρινα γρᾶψαι, ";since I have decided to travel to T. on the 8th, I have determined to write to you"; (Edd.). The phrase ὁ βασιλεὺς διαγνώσεται occurs several times in the long papyrus regarding the affairs of Theodorus, the architect, P Petr III. 43 (B.C. 245) : the editors render ";the king shall take cognisance."; The same formula occurs in P Amh II. 29.18, a contemporary document. It is to be classed with other instances of the technical legal use of διαγινώσκειν, which appears in Acts 24:22. Cf. CPR 18.25 (A.D. 124) ὑ [πη ]γόρευσεν ἀπὸ [ν ]όμω [ν δι ]ε [γνῶσθα [ι ] κατὰ λέξ [ιν, ";dictirte . . . folgendes Erkenntniss nach dem Wortlaut des Gesetzes"; (Ed.), P Hal I. 1.135 (mid. iii/B.C.) ἐὰν δέ [τ ]ι [ν ]ων φασκόντων (l. τινες φάσκωσιν) εἶν [αι ] τῆς [ἀ ]ποσκευῆς, οἱ δικασταὶ π [ερ ]ὶ τούτου δ [ι ]αγινωσκέ [τω ]σαν, P Oxy VII. 1032.53 (A.D. 162) ἔντυχε οὖν τῷ κρατίσ [τῳ ἐ ]πισ [τρα ]τήγῳ, ὃς παρόντος αὐτοῦ π [ερὶ τ ]οῦ πράγματος δια [γν ]ώσετ [α ]ι, ib. VIII. 1117.3 (c. A.D. 178) ἔναγχος, ἡγεμὼν κύριε, ἐπιδημή [σας ἐν τῇ ήμετέρᾳ ] πόλει διέγνως μεταξὺ ἡμῶν καὶ ἀρχόντων.
