In P Ryl II. 80.1 (i/A.D.), in view of danger threatening the Nile banks, the village elders are ordered—ἐκβάλετε εἰς τὰ χώματα [τοῦ Πατεμίτου ] Ἄνωι ὑδροφύλακας, ";send out irrigation-guards on to the banks of the Upper Patemite district"; (Edd.). With its use, no fewer than 11 times in Mk, in connexion with the driving out of demons may be compared the heading of the magical incantation in P Par 574.1227 (iii/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 113) πρᾶξις γενναία ἐκβάλλουσα δαίμονας, and for the literal usage, as in Matthew 21:12, cf. the early P Lond 887.6 (iii/B.C.) (= III. p. 1) ἐγβέβληκέ με ἐκ τῶν ἐμῶν μερῶν τῆς αἰλῆς τῆι βίαι χρώμενος, P Magd 12.11 (B.C. 217) ἐγβαλεῖν με ἐκ τῶν κλήρων, and P Flor III. 319.5 (A.D. 132–7) ὧν (sc. ἀρουρῶν) ἐξέβαλόν με ο ̣ἱ ἐν γιτνίᾳ μου ὄντες. The sense of banishment from a family or society, as in Galatians 4:30 (from Genesis 21:10), 3 John 1:10, may be paralleled from BGU IV. 1050.15, a marriage-contract of the time of Augustus, where a man is bound over not to ill-treat his wife, μηδ᾽ ἐγβάλλειν μηδ᾽ ἄλλην γυναῖκα ἐπεισάγειν, ";nor to put her away, nor to marry another woman in addition to her"; : cf. P Tebt I. 104.22 (B.C. 92) and ib. 105.31 (B.C. 103) where in a lease of land provision is made that it shall not be in the power of the lessee to let the land to others μηδ᾽ ἐγβάλλειν τὸν Πτολεμαῖον πρὸ τοῦ χρόνου, ";nor to expel P. before the proper period,"; also P Sa‘id Khan I. A.21 f (B.C. 88) (= JHS xxxv. p. 28). In P Oxy IV. 744.10 (B.C. I) (= Selections, p. 33) a man writes to his wife with reference to the expected birth of a child—ἐὰν ἦν θήλεα, ἔκβαλε, ";if it is a female, expose it";; cf. Syll 737.95 (c. A.D. 175) ἐπιτείμια δὲ ἔστω τὰ αὐτὰ τῷ εὐκόσμῳ μὴ ἐκβαλόντι τοὺς μαχομένους. For the meaning ";bring forth,"; ";produce,"; as in Matthew 12:35, we may point to BGU I. 197.12 (A.D. 17) ";de agrorum proventu,"; τῶν ἐγβαλ [λομένων ] καθ᾽ ἔτος ἐκ τοῦ κλήρου γενημάτων καὶ ἐπιγενημάτω [ν. A similar weakened force of the verb is found in such NT passages as Matthew 13:52, Luke 10:35, John 10:4, James 2:25. MGr βγάλλω.
