";make war with,"; is construed with μετά, as quater in Rev, in BGU IV. 1035.9 (v/A.D.) (as read Chrest. I. p. 39) οἱ οὖν ἀπὸ Ὀξυρύγχων ἠθέλησαν. . . πολεμῆσαι μετὰ τῶν ἀπὸ Κερκῆσις, and in the Silko inscr. OGIS 201.3 (vi/A.D.) ἅπαξ δύο ἐπολέμησα μετὰ τῶν Βλεμύων. Thumb (Hellen. p. 125) points out that there is no need to speak of Hebraism in view of MGr use, as in the popular song τρεῖς ὥρες ἐπολέμαε μὲ δεκοχτὼ χιλιάδες : cf. Abbott Songs, p. 44—
τὸ πῶς αὐτὸς ᾽πολέμησε μὲ τρεῖς χιλιάδα (ι)ς Τούρκους.
For the verb used hyperbolicaliy of private quarrels, as in James 4:2, cf. Preisigke 4317.12 (c. A.D. 200) πολεμεῖ με διότι εἶπόν σοι εἰς ὄψιν, where the growth of the acc. construction may also be noted (cf. Proleg. p. 64). The pass. is seen in OGIS 748.8 (iv/B.C.) πολεμηθείσης τῆς χώρας. MGr πολεμῶ, ";fight,"; ";struggle";; ";endeavour"; (Thumb Handb. p. 350).
