ἐπιγίνομαι is common of time, e.g. P Lond 42.23 (B.C. 168) (= I. p. 30, Selections, p. 10) μὴ ὅτι γε τοσούτου χρόνου ἐπιγεγονότος, P Fay 11.19 (c. B.C. 115) τῶν τῆς ἀποδόσεως χρόνων διεληλυθότων καὶ ἄλλων ἐπιγεγονότων πλεόνων, ";the periods fixed for the repayment have passed, and still further periods elapsed"; (Edd.). In P Oxy II. 246.18 (A.D. 66) the verb is used of lambs ";born after"; a first registration—καὶ νῦ [ν ] ἀπογράφομαι τοὺς ἐπ [ιγε ]γονότας εἰς τὴν ἐνεστ [ῶσαν ] δευτέραν ἀπογραφήν : cf. P Ryl II. 111.12 (census-return—A.D. 161) ἀν ]αγεγρα (μμένον) ἐν ἐπιγεγενημ (ένοις), OGIS 56.19 (B.C. 237) ὑπόμνημα καταλείποντες τοῖς τε νῦν οὖσιν καὶ τοῖς ἐπιγινομένοις. See further P Par 45.8 (B.C. 153) εὐλαβοῦμαι τὸν ἐνδίκτην τὰ πλῖστα, τ ̣ὰ (= ἃ) πράσεις, μὴ ἐπ ̣ι ̣γε ̣ν ̣[οι ]το ̣, where Witkowski (Epp..2, p. 85) understands ἐπιγίνομαι as = ";de improviso appareo, aggredior"; : cf. Acts 28:13, and See Hobart, p. 290. The double compound ἐπιπαραγίνομαι is found P Petr III. 31.7 (B.C. 240). The subst. ἐπιγονή = ";offspring,"; ";descendants,"; as in 2 Chronicles 31:16, is common, e.g. P Par 63.156 (B.C. 164) τὴν τούτων ἐπιγονήν. See also the editors’ note in P Tebt I. p. 556 ff. on the meaning of the phrase τῆς ἐπιγονῆς.
