The varied usage of this common verb may be illustrated by the following passages—P Petr II. 4 (1).7 (B.C.. 255–4) ἵνα μὴ ἡμεῖς θλιβώμεθα, P Par 26.22 (B.C. 163–2) (= Selections, p. 15) ἡμῶυ δὲ τοῖς δέουσι θλιβομένων, P Oxy VI. 898.33 (A.D. 123) ἐκ παντὸς θλείβουσά με εἰς τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι κατ᾽ αὐτῆς προελθεῖν, ";using every means of oppressing me so as to render me incapable of proceeding against her"; (Edd.), P Ryl II. 116.9 (A.D. 194) θλειβομένη τῇ συνειδήσει περὶ ὦν ἐνοσφίσατο κτλ., of a woman ";oppressed by the consciousness"; that she had wrongfully appropriated certain articles, P Tebt II. 423.8 (early iii/A.D.) περὶ τῶν βοῶν μὴ ἀμελὴς (l. ἀμελήσῃς) μηδὲ θλεῖβε αὐτά, ";do not neglect the oxen or work them hard"; (Edd.), P Oxy I. 123.8 (iii/iv A.D.) πάνυ γὰρ θλείβομαι διότι οὐκ ἐδεξάμην σου γράμματα, ib. 120 verso.7 (iv/A.D.) ἀλ᾽ (l. ἀλλ᾽ ὅρα μὴ καταλίψῃς μαι (l. με) θλιβόμενον, and ib.

MGr θλιβερός, ";sad,"; ";perplexed."; The literal sense of the verb in Matthew 7:14 may be illustrated from Apoc. Petr. 10 καὶ τοὺς φονεῖς ἔβλεπον καὶ τοὺς συνειδότας αὐτοῖς βεβλημένους ἔν τινι τόπῳ τεθλιμμένῳ καὶ πεπληρωμένῳ ἑρπετῶν πονηρῶν.
