Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Petr II. 29 (e ).2 (Ptol.) διατήρει ἐπιμελῶς καὶ ἐπιμέλου αὐτ [ῶν, P Grenf II. 14 (a ).16 (B.C. 270 or 233) δ [ι ]ὰ τὸ διατετηρηκέναι ἐμαυτὸν μηδένα τρόπον ἐνοχλεῖν, Syll 246.7 (B.C. 220–16) ὅπως ἂν παρ᾽ ἑκατέρων τῶι [δ ]ήμωι ἥ τε φιλί [α κ ]αὶ ἡ εἰρήνη διατηρῆται, ib. 521.76 (B.C. 100) διετήρησεν δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν πρὸς ἀλλ [ήλ ]ους ὁμόνοιαν καὶ φιλίαν δι᾽ ὅλου τοῦ ἐνια [υ ]τοῦ. In the magic papyrus P Lond 46.44 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 66) we have διατήρησόν με καὶ τὸν παῖδα τοῦτον ἀπημάντους ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ ὑψίστου θεοῦ : cf. ib. 121.453 (iii/A.D.) (= I. p. 99). On the ";perfective"; force in the compound see P Leid Uii. 21 (ii/B.C.) the dream of Nectonebus, the last Egyptian King of the old dynasties, where we have a striking parallel to 2 Timothy 4:7διατετήρηκα τὴν χώραν ἀμέμπτως. ";The perfective in the King’s words emphasises the fact that the watchful care has been successful; the simplex in Paul lays the stress on the speaker’s own action, ‘I have guarded my trust’"; (Proleg. p. 237, cf. p. 116).
