Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The perfective force of this verb (cf. Proleg. pp. 111, 115) is well seen in P Ryl II. 152.18 (A.D., 42), a complaint of damage to pasturage by sheep which κατενέμησαν καὶ κατέφαγαν καὶ τοῖς ὅλοις ἠφάνισαν, ";overran, cropped, and. utterly destroyed it"; (Edd.) : cf. P Flor II. 150.6 (A.D. 267) of crops ἀπὸ τῶν μυῶν κατεσθιόμενα, and P Oxy I. 58.6, .10 (A.D. 288) with reference to the multitude of officials who were ";swallowing up"; the estates of the treasury along with its surplus—βουλόμενοι τὰς ταμιακὰς οὐσίας κατεστείειν (l. κατεσθίειν) . . τὰ δὲ περιγεινόμενα κατεστείουσιν (l. κατεσθίουσιν). For the fut. καταφάγομαι, as in John 2:17 from the LXX, cf. P Iand 26.23 (A.D. 98) ἐφ᾽ ᾧ καταφάγοντ ̣α ̣ι (sc. τὰ πρόβατα), and with the shorter form of the part. κατέσθοντες in Mark 12:40 cf. the magic P Lond 46.268 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 73) ὑπὸ τῶν ἰχθύων σου ἡ κοιλία κατέσθεται.
