Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The proceedings before Festus (Acts 26:24 f.) find a striking parallel in the curious interview with an Emperor (Marcus Aurelius or Commodus) recorded in P Oxy I. 33, where the Emperor rebukes the violent language of the condemned Appianus in the words—iv. 9 ff. ἰ (= εἰ)ώθαμεν καὶ ἡμεῖς μαινομένους καὶ ἀπονενοημένους σωφρι (= ο)νίζειν, ";we are accustomed to bring to their senses those who are mad or beside themselves"; (Edd.), and receives the answer—.13 ff νὴ τὴν σὴν τύχην οὔτε μαίνομαι οὔτε ἀπονενόημαι. The verb is also found in CP Herm I. 7i. 18 (ii/A.D. ?) οὐ γὰρ ἐμηνά [μ ]η ̣ν, and in Or. Sib i. 171 f. οἱ δέ μιν εἰσαΐοντες ἐμυκτήριζον ἕκαστος, | ἔκφρονα κικλήσκοντες, ἀτὰρ μεμανημένον ἄνδρα.
