Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For the distinctive NT sense of this verb ";permit,"; ";allow,"; cf. P Magd 2.7 (B.C. 221) δέομαι οὖν σου, βασιλεῦ. . . μὴ ἐπιτρέπειν τῶι Ποώρει κωλύειν ἡμᾶς οἰκοδομεῖν, ib. 12.11 (B.C. 217) μὴ ἐπιτρέπειν αὐτοῖς ἐγβαλεῖν με ἐκ τῶν κλήρων, BGU II. 451.10 (i/ii A.D.) θεῶν ἐπιτρεπόν [τ ]ων, P Ryl II. 120.16 (A.D. 167) διὸ ἀξιῶ ἐπιτ ̣ρ ̣ε ̣ψαι μ [ο ]ι χρήσασθαι αὐτῷ τῷ Ἑρμείνῳ, P Lond 951 verso.4 (late iii/A.D.) (= III. p. 213) τ ]ὸ βρέφος ἐχέτω τροφόν, ἐγὼ γὰρ οὐκ ἐπ ̣ιτ [ρέ ]πω τῇ θυγατρί μου θηλάζειν, and for the pass., P Oxy III. 474.40 (A.D. 184 ?) δεύτερον τοῦτο προσαγορεύω ἄνευ τοῦ ἐπιτραπῆναι μὴ ἐφάπτεσθαι τοῦ κυριακοῦ χρήματος, ";I now make this second order that the imperial moneys are not to be touched without leave"; (Edd.). For the use of the inf. after ἐπιτρέπω in the NT, as in the Pontic dialect of MGr, see Proleg. p. 205. For the verb = ";entrust,"; ";commission,"; ";instruct,"; we may cite a letter from a farm-bailiff to his employer, P Lond 1173.3 ff. (A.D. 125) (= III. p. 208) ὡς ἐ ]πέτρεψάς μοι κατεργά [ζεσθ ]αι τὴν χερσάμπελον ἐποίησα, ὕστερον ̣ ἐπ [έτρε ]ψάς [μ ]οι διὰ λόγον μήκετι κατερ [γάζεσθαι, and the report of a public physician to the strategus, P Oxy I. 51.5 (A.D. 173) ἐπετράπην ὑπὸ σοῦ διὰ Ἡρακλείδου ὑπηρέτου ἐφιδεῖν σῶμα νεκρὸν ἀπηρτημένον (";found hanged";), and similarly ib. III. 476.10 (ii/A.D.). For the more strictly legal usage, cf. further P Lips I. 8.6 (A.D. 220) (= Chrest. II. 210) μετὰ κυρίου. . . [τοῦ αἰτηθέν ]το [ς ὑπ᾽ αὐτῆ ]ς καὶ ἐπιτραπέντ (ος) ὑπὸ Αὐρηλίου Κάστορος. . . ἐν [ά ]ρ [χου ἐξη ]γη [τοῦ, of a guardian for whom a woman had asked, and who ";had been installed"; by the exegete Aurelius Kastor.
