καταρτίζω occurs in P Tebt I. 6.7 (B.C. 140–39) καταρτισθῶσι and ib. 24.48 (B.C. 117) καταρτισο ̣μεθα —both times in broken contexts. A good ex. of the original meaning ";prepare,"; ";perfect"; a thing for its full destination or use is afforded by P Oxy VIII. 1153.16 (i/A.D.) where the recipient of the letter is informed that he will receive certain garments ἃ ἐδ ̣ω ̣ρήσατό σοι Παυσανίας ὁ ἀδελφός σου πρὸ πολλοῦ ἐκ φιλοτιμίας αὐτοῦ κατηρτισμένα, ";which your brother Pausanias went to the expense of having made some time ago and presented to you"; (Ed.). Cf. from the inscrr. OGIS 177.10 (B.C. 96–5) κατηρτίσατο δίδοσθαι. . . πυροῦ ἀρτάβας, and similarly 179.9 (B.C. 95). Wynne in Exp VII. viii. p. 282 ff. understands the verb in Mark 1:19 not of ";mending"; but of ";folding"; the nets to be ready for use, quoting an old Scholion where the Vg ";componentes"; is explained as ";vel farcientes, vel complicantes,"; ";either stowing or folding"; : cf. Wycliffe ";makinge nettis."; The various NT usages are fully discussed by Lightfoot on 1 Thessalonians 3:10. For ἀπαρτίζω see the citations s.v. ἀπαρτισμός, and add P Giss I. 62.12 (ii/A.D.) εἰς τὸ ἤδη ποτὲ ἀκολ [ούθ ]ως [ταῖς ἐ ]ντολαῖς τοῦ κρατίστου ἡγεμόνος τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν ἀπαρτισθῆναι.
