For the 1st aor. formation κατέλειψα, as in Acts 6:2, cf. P Giss I. 69.6 (A.D. 1 18–9) αὐτὸν παρὰ σοὶ κατέλειψα, P Ryl II. 153.18 (A.D. 138–61) ὂ ̣ν ̣ κατέλειψα ἐν Ζμύρνῃ τῆς Ἀσίας παρὰ τροφῷ θηλάζοντα, and the exx. in Deissmann BS p. 190. The verb is very common of property ";left"; or bequeathed, as in P Eleph 2.8 (B.C. 285–4) ἐὰν δέ τι πάσχηι Διονύσιος, καταλείπειν τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὑτοῦ πάντα Καλλίσται, P Magd 13.4 (B.C. 217) ἐπιζητοῦντές τινα μέρη τῶν καταλειφθέντων ὑπαρχόντων ὑπὸ Φιλίππου, P Tebt II. 380.22 (A.D. 67) καταλιφθησωμένων ὑπαρχόντων ἁπάντων, ib. 327.14 (late ii/A.D.τετελευτηκότος α ̣̓π ̣[όρου ] μηδὲ ἒ ̣ν ̣ κ ̣α ̣ταλείπ ̣[οντο ]̓, ";he died without means, leaving nothing at all"; (Edd. ), ib. 406.8 (c. A.D. 266) λόγος ὧν κατάλειψεν (l. κατέλ —) Παῦλος γενόμ [ε ]νός μου ἀ [ν ]ήρ, ";account of effects left by Paulus, my late husband"; (Edd.). With the usage in Mark 10:7 we may compare P Oxy III. 526.4 (ii/A.D.) οὐκ ἤμην ἀπαθὴς ἀλόγως σε καταλείπιν, ";to leave you in the lurch without reason"; : see also P Lond 897.8.f (A.D. 84) (= III. p. 207) ἥδιστα πάντας καταλείψωι εἵνα μὴ τὴν πρός σε φιλείαν καταλείψωι, and P Oxy I. 120 verso.6 (iv/A.D.) ἀλ᾽ (l. ἀλλ᾽ ὅρα μὴ καταλίψῃς μαι θλιβόμενον, ";whatever you do, do not fail me in my trouble"; (Edd.). Similarly for Hebrews 4:1 we may cite P Lond 1171.43 (B.C. 8) (= III. p. 179), accounts with reference to ἄρακος as fodder for flocks—
γίνονται ἀρ (άκου) ο ̄ σκ
καταλείπονται ἀρ (άκου) ο ̄ υλγ
For καταλιμπάνω (cf. Genesis 39:16) see P Petr I. 149 (a will— B.C. 237) καταλιμπάνω τὰ ὑπ [άρχοντα κτλ., ib. 15.17 (B.C. 237), and P Grenf I, 1.8 (ii/B.C.) ὀδύνη μ᾽ ἔχει ὅταν ἀναμνησθῶ ὥς με κατεφίλει ἐπιβούλως μέλλων με καταλιμπάν [ει ]ν.
