Vocabulary of the Greek NT

καθίστημι in the sense of ";appoint"; may be illustrated from P Hib I. 82i. 14 (B.C. 239–8) καθεστήκαμεν γραμματέα Ἰσοκράτην τῶν ἀπεσταλμέν [ω ]ν εἰς τὸν [Ἀρσι ]νοίτην κληρούχων, ";I have appointed Isocrates as scribe of the cleruchs sent to the Arsinoite nome"; (Edd.), P Ryl II. 153.18 (A.D. 138–161) οὗ καὶ καθίστημι ἐπιτρόπους [ἄχ ]ρ ̣ι ̣ ο ̣ ̣ γένη ̣[ται τῆ ]ς ἐννό [μο ]υ ̣ [ ]λικίας. . . οὓς [οἶδα ἐπιτηδείου ]ς, ";I appoint as his guardians until he attains the legal age, . . . (the aforesaid persons) whom I know to be suitable"; (Edd.), and P Amh II. 65.8 (early ii/A.D.) where, in answer to a petition that one of two brothers should be released from public service to attend to the cultivation of their own land, the Prefect decides—δίκαιον τὸν ἕτερον ἀπολυθῆναι ἐὰν ἄλλος ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ κατασταθῇ, ";it is just that one of them should be released, if some one else is appointed in his stead"; (Edd.). The verb is also used technically of presenting oneself before judges, e.g. P Petr III. 30ii. 2 (Ptol.) καταστάντος μου ἐπὶ [σοῦ πρὸς ] Εἰρήνην, ";when I appeared in your court in my suit against Eirene"; (Edd.), P Oxy II. 281.24 (A.D. 20–50) διὸ ἀξιῶ συντάξαι καταστῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σέ, ";I therefore beg you to order him to be brought before you,"; P Ryl II. 65.10 (B.C. 65?) ἠξίουν συντάξαι καταστῆσαι τοὺς ἐγκαλουμένους, ";they asked that the accused should be ordered to be brought forward"; (Edd.), ib. 136.14 (A.D. 34) καταστῆσαι ἐπὶ σὲ πρὸς τὴν ἐσομένην ἐπέξοδ (ον), ";to bring them before you for the ensuing punishment"; (Edd.). The simpler meaning of ";conduct"; or ";bring,"; as in Acts 17:15, occurs in P Par 51.13 f. (B.C. 160) (= Selections, p. 20) ἐγὼ καταστήσ [ας ] Διδύμας ἐπὶ σέ, ὁρῶ σοι αὐτὸν καθιστῶντα αὐτάς, ";I have conducted the Twins to you : I see him conducting them to you,"; BGU I. 93.22 (ii/iii A.D.) κατάστησον αὐτοὺς εἰς Μέμφιν. For the verb = ";come into a certain state,"; as in James 3:6; James 4:4, we may compare P Ryl II. 281.21 (A.D. 54–67) οὐκ ἐπένευσεν ἐξόφθαλμος αὐτῆς καθεστὼς διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν κατ᾽ ἔτος γενημάτων, ";he refused, having grown covetous of it owing to its great yearly productivity"; (Edd.); see also Aristeas 289 καὶ γὰρ ἐκ βασιλέων βασιλεῖς γινόμενοι πρὸς τοὺς ὑποτεταγμένους ἀνήμεροί τε καὶ σκληροὶ καθίστανται, ";for some kings of royal lineage are inhuman and harsh towards their subjects"; (Thackeray), and Menander Fragm. p. 215 ἅπαντα δοῦλα τοῦ φρονεῖν καθίσταται, ";everything is found to be the servant of good sense."; For the pass., as in Romans 5:19, cf. P Rein 18.40 (B.C. 108) πρ ]ονοηθῆναι ὡς ἀπερίσπ [αστο ]ς ̣ κατασταθήσεται, ";veiller à ce qu’il soit laissé en repos"; (Ed.). In P Revill Mél 295.10 (B.C. 131—0) (= Witkowski Epp..2 p. 26) προσπέπτωκεν <γὰρ > Παῶν ἀναπλεῖν ἐν τῶι Τῦβι <μ (ηνὶ)> μετὰ δυνατ ̣ῶν ἱκανῶν πρὸς τὸ καταστεῖσαι τοὺς ἐν Ἑρμώνθει ὄχλους, Witkowski understands the verb as = ";reprimere,"; ";comprimere."; For the subst. κατάστασις used legally (see supra) cf. P Fay 11.27 (c. B.C. 115) διαλέξαντες αὐτὴν εἰς κα [τά ]στασιν, ";having selected it (a petition) for trial"; : see also Archiv ii. p. 576.
