Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The commercial sense of ἀναιρέω seems the commonest. P Lond 1168.6 f. (A.D. 18) (= III. p. 136) ἀντὶ τοῦ τόκου [ὧ ]ν ̣ ἀνείρηται, ";the interest on what she has borrowed,"; ib. 1164.17 (A.D. 212) (= III. p. 158) ἀνῃρῆσθαι τὸν πωλοῦντα π [αρ ]ὰ τοῦ ὠνουμένου τὴν συνπεφωνημένην πρὸς ἀλλ [ή ]λονς τιμήν, BGU IV. 1136.2 (c. B.C. 11) : cf. ib. 1135.6 (do.) ἀνείλαν [το. P Fay 100.19, 26 (A.D. 99) ἀνίρημαι, of ";receiving"; money : so P Flor I. 1.3, 12 (A.D. 153), ib. 81.5 (A.D. 103). In the more general sense of ";take up,"; P Tebt I. 138 (late ii/B.C.) ἀνελόμενος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ μάχαιραν, and the interesting imperial letter, now dated in the time of Hadrian (Hermes xxxvii. p. 84 ff.), BGU I. 140.10 ff. with reference to τ [ο ]ύτους, ο [ὓ ]ς οἱ γονεῖς αὐτῶν τῷ τῆς στρατείας ἀνείλα [ν ]το χρόνῳ. For the active cf. P Oxy I. 37.6 (A.D. 49) (= Selections, p. 49), ἀνεῖλεν ἀπὸ κοπρίας ἀρρενικὸν σωμάτιον, ";picked up from the dung-heap a male foundling"; : the corresponding passive is used of the same transaction in ib. 38.6 (A.D. 49–50) (= Selections, p. 52), ὃ ἀνείρηται ἀπὸ κοπρίας. The recurrent formula δουλικὸν παιδίον ἀναίρετον ὑποτίτθιον (as BGU IV. 1107.9—B.C. 13) shows how technical the term had become : cf. Acts 7:21. For the meaning ";kill,"; cf. P Amh II. 142.8 (iv/A.D.) βουλόμενοι ἀναιρη ̣̑σ ̣αί με : in Syll 929.46 of a city ";destroyed."; So also, seemingly, in P Par 68G. .5 (Rom.) ἀναιρεθῆναι μέλλω [ν ] : the context is fragmentary, but the general subject—an apology for the Jews—makes it probable. The compound ἀνταναιρεῖν (cf. ἀνταναπληροῦν) occurs frequently in P Tebt I., as 61(b).244 (B.C. 118–7) [ἀν ]ταναιρεθείσης, ";subtracted."; So P Petr III. 76iii. 1 (ii/B.C.), ib. 104.4 τοῦ ἀνειλημμένου, of a farm-holding ";confiscated"; to the state, BGU III. 776i. 7 (i/A.D.).
