Pron. 80.10; ἐμαυτόν is dub. in Xenoph. (PLG 2p.116B.) and Anacr. 64; Ion. ἐμεωυτοῦ Hdt. 4.97 (but ἐμωυτοῦ A.D. Pron. 74.4), ἐμεωυτῷ Hdt. 3.142, ἐμεωυτόν Heraclit. 101; ἐμᾱτοῦ, ἐμᾱτόν, Lyr.Alex.Adesp. 4.23, SIG 741.12 (i B.C.): in pl. always separated, ἡμῶν αὐτῶν, etc.; ἐν ἐμαυτῷ συννοεῖσθαι in or with oneself, E. Or. 634; πρὸς ἐμαυτόν Ar. Ra. 53, etc.; strengthd., ἴσχυόν τ' αὐτὸς ἐμαυτοῦ Id. V. 357, cf. Lys. 1125; but ἐν ἐμαυτοῦ (sc. οἴκῳ) εἶναι, metaph., to be master of oneself, Pl. Chrm. 155d: nom. ἐμαυτός, com. formation in Pl.Com. 78.
ἐμαυτοῦ, ἐμαυτης, ἐμαυτοῦ (from ἐμοῦ and αὐτοῦ, reflexive pronoun of 1st person, of myself, used only in the genitive, dative, and accusative singular (cf. Buttmann, 110ff (96ff)): ἀπ' ἐμαυτοῦ, see ἀπό, II. 2 d. aa.; ὑπ' ἐμαυτόν, under my control, Matthew 8:9; Luke 7:8; ἐμαυτόν, myself, as opposed to Christ, the supposed minister of sin (Luke 7:17), Galatians 2:18; tacitly opposed to an animal offered in sacrifice, John 17:19; negligently for αὐτός ἐμέ, 1 Corinthians 4:3 (yet cf. Meyer at the passage). As in Greek writers (Matthiae, § 148 Anm. 2, i., p. 354; Passow, under the word, p. 883), its force is sometimes so weakened that it scarcely differs from the simple person pronoun of the first person (yet denied by Meyer), as John 12:32; John 14:21; Philemon 1:13.
