Schmidt, Synonym, chapter 18, 6)) it is followed by the genitive of the person, in the N. T. by the accusative (Buttmann, § 132, 16): Matthew 12:7; Luke 6:37 (here Tr marginal reading the simple verb); James 5:6; passive, Matthew 12:37; (Luke 6:37b (not Tr marginal reading)). (the Sept.

A good example of this legal term, which preserves the same form and meaning in MGr, is afforded by the fragment of a legal code of iii/B.C., which begins—ἐὰν δέ τις περὶ ἀδικήματος ἑ [τέ ]ρο [υ ] οἰκέτηι ὄντι δίκην γραψάμενος, ὡς ἐλευθέρωι, καταδικάσηται, ἐξέστω τῶι κυρίωι ἀναδικῆσαι ἐν ἡμέραις ε ̄, ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἂν ἡ εἴσπραξις γίνηται, καὶ ἂν καταδικασθῆι ἡ δίκη, τότε ἐπιδεκάτων ἢ ἐπιπεντεκαιδεκάτων ἀποτινέτω ὁ κύριος κτλ. (P Lille I. 29.1 ff.). Cf. P Hal I. 1.44 (iii/B.C.) ἐὰν δέ τις καταδικασθείσης αὐτοῦ δίκης ἐπιλαβόμενος τῶν μαρτύρων γράψηται δίκην κατὰ τὸ διάγραμμα, and so .65. For κατεδικάσθη see P Petr II. 28(1).8 (B.C. 225), and ib. 27(2).3, .8, and for ἀπεδικάσθη, ib. III. 21(a).3, .9 (time of Euergetes I.). [In P Par 51.25 (B.C. 160) (= Selections, p. 21) Wilcken (Archiv vi. p. 205) now reads σὺ κατέδιξας (= κατέδειξας) for κατεδίκας (= κατεδίκασας) διδύμας.] We may also cite a papyrus letter of A.D. 209 with reference to the release of a man who had been condemned to work in the alabaster quarries, Preisigke 4639.2 Νιγέραν Παπειρίου καταδικασθέντα εἰς ἀλαβαστρῶνα ἐπὶ πενταετίαν. . . πληρώσαντα τὸν τῆς καταδίκης χρόνον ἀπέλυσα. See further Artem. v. 49 καταδικασθεὶς τὴν ἐπὶ θανάτῳ καὶ προσδεθεὶς ξύλῳ ἐβρώθη ὑπὸ ἄρκτου.
