In P Ryl II. 133.22 (A.D. 33) the mention of the danger of fields being ";left unsown";—εἰς ἄσπορον ἐκτραπῆν [α ]ι —shows the verb in a more general sense than in the possible medical reference in Hebrews 12:13 ἵνα μὴ τὸ χωλὸν ἐκτραπῇ, ";be put out of joint"; (RV mg.). For the meaning ";turn aside,"; as in 1 Timothy 1:6, we may compare Epict. i. 6. 42 οἱ δ᾽ ὑπ᾽ ἀγεννείας εἰς μέμψεις καὶ [τὰ ] ἐγκλήματα τῷ θεῷ ἐκτρεπόμενοι, and for the acc. constr., as in 1 Timothy 6:20, see Oenoanda col. 29, 7 ἐ. δεῖ τοὺς σοφιστικοὺς λόγους (cited by Nägeli, p. 19), and Musonius p. 26.4 τὰ μὲν ἀληθῶς κακὰ πάσῃ μηχανῇ ἐκτρέπεσθαι.
