This compound (2 Peter 1:16; 2 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter 2:15) is often used with reference to ";merited"; punishment, e.g. P Par 62v. 10 (ii/B.C.) τοῖς δ᾽εγλαβοῦσι ἐξακολουθήσεται τὰ ὑποκείμενα πρόστιμα, and ib. 63.130 (B.C. 165), P Tebt I. 5.132 (B.C. 118) ἀπολύεσθαι τῶν ἐξακ ̣ολ ̣ο ̣υθο [ύντων αὐ ]τ [οῖς προσ ]τίμων, ";be released from the penalties which they have incurred,"; PSI III. 168.33 (B.C. 118) ἵν᾽, ἐὰν ἐνσχεθῶσι, τύχωσι τῶν ἐξακολουθούντων (sc. προστίμων), P Rein 1715 (B.C. 109) οἱ [δὲ ] αἴτιοι τύχωσι τῶν ἐξακολουθούντων.
