ἐπιφέρω is common = ";produce,"; ";bring forward."; Thus P Eleph 2.16 (B.C. 285–4) ἡ δὲ συγγραφὴ ἥδε κυρία ἔστω πάντηι πάντως, ὅπου ἄν ἐπιφέρηται ὡς ἐκεῖ τοῦ συναλλάγματος γεγενημένου, similarly P Grenf I. 10.19 (B.C. 174), P Oxy II. 257.19 (A.D. 94–5) καθ᾽ [ἃς ] ἐπήνεγκεν ἀποδείξεις, ";in accordance with the proofs he produced,"; P Tebt II. 297.15 (c. A.D. 123) τὴν ἐπ [ε ]νεχθεῖσαν ὑπὸ τοῦ Μαρσισο [ύχου κύ ]ρωσιν, ";the certificate of appointment produced by Marsisuchus"; (Edd.), P Ryl II. 163.14 (A.D. 139) ἐποίσω τὸ τῆς ἐνκτήσεως ἐπίσταλμα, ";I will submit the authorization of the land registry office"; (Edd.), and for a new future see P Fay 64.7 (ii/A.D.) ἐπενεγκοῦμέ (l.—μέν) σοι τὸ δημόσιον σύμβολον, ";we will hand over to you the treasury receipt"; (Edd.), P Hamb I. 44.7 (A.D. 215) ἐπενεγκῶ σοι τὸ δημ ̣όσιον σύμβολον. The verb is used of ";recording"; votes in Michel 487.19 (ii/B.C.) ψῆφοι ἐπηνέχθησαν δισχίλιαι ἑκατὸν δεκατρεῖς. For the meaning ";bring forward"; an accusation (cf. the simplex in Acts 25:18), see P Oxy III. 472.9 (c. A.D. 130) διὰ τί δ ̣̕ ἐπήνενκεν τὸ ἔνκλημα ταύτῃ δῆλον, ";why he brought the accusation is now clear"; (Edd.), and for the meaning ";inflict,"; as in Romans 3:5, see P Tebt II. 331.10 (c.

The adj. = ";appropriate,"; ";relative,"; is found in ib. 266.14 (A.D. 96) ἧ ]ς τὴν ἐπίφορον (sc. ὁμολογίαν) αὐτόθεν ἀναδεδωκέναι αὐτῷ [κεχιασμένην ε ]ἰς ἀκύρωσιν, ";this bond she has thereupon returned to him cancelled"; (Edd.), and similarly ib.
