This word which is found in the LXX (Numbers 16:40; Numbers 26:9, and 1 Esdras 5:73 A) and in the received text of Acts 24:12, 2 Corinthians 11:28, may be illustrated from Syll 325.27 (i/B.C.) διὰ τὰς τῶν κρατούντων τῆς χώρας βαρβάρων ἐπισυνστάσεις, where the thought of ";hostile"; combination is prominent : see further Field Notes, p. 185 f. On the other hand the verb is sometimes used practically = ";appoint,"; as when certain πρεσβύτεροι of the village of Karanis grant one of their number a certificate stating that they had appointed him their deputy in the collection of the beer-tax—P Lond 255.10 (A.D. 136) (= II. p. 117) ἐπισυνε ̣σ ̣τάκαμέν σοι ἀνθ᾽ ὑμῶν (l. ἡμῶν) πρακτορεύιν (l. —ειν) κ (αὶ) χιρίζιν (l. χειρίζειν) τὴν δὲ ζυτηράν κτλ. : cf. ib. 306.8 (A.D. 145) (= II. p. 118) τὸν [ὁ ]μολογοῦντα συνεστακέναι τὸν Σα [το ]ρνίλον πρακτορεύοντα.
