Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For this verb in its more official sense of ";I live the life of a citizen,"; ";I live the life of a member of a citizen body,"; cf. Syll 287 (= .3 618).12 (B.C. 188) πολιτεύεσθαι κατὰ τοὺς ὑμετέρους νόμους, ib. 325 (= .3 708).25 (before B.C. 100) τοῦτο βουλόμενος ἐμφαίνειν, ὅτι τοῖς εὐσεβέστ ́ατα καὶ κάλλιστα πολειτευομένοις καὶ παρὰ θεῶν τις χάρις καὶ παρὰ τῶν εὐεργετηθέντων ἐπακολούθει —both Acts 23:1 and Philippians 1:27 get some light from the parallel. See also C. and B. ii. p. 468, No. 305 (i/A.D.) ο [ἱ Γ ]έροντες ἐτίμησαν Λούκιον Ἀτίλιον. . . ἔν τε ταῖς λοιπαῖς τῆς πόλεως καὶ τῆς γερουσίας χρείαις ἁγνῶς καὶ δικαίως ἐκ προγόνων πολιτευόμενον. For προπολιτεύομαι see P Lond 233.4 (A.D. 345) (= II p. 273, Chrest. I. p. 68).

Similarly we may cite from the papyri P Par 63.78 (B.C. 164) (= P Petr III. p. 24) τοῖς καιροῖς πρεπόντως καὶ τοῖς α ̣̓νθ ̣ρω ̣ποις ἁρμοζόντως φαίνεσθαι πεπολιτευομένους, ";appearing to have administered your office in a manner befitting the circumstances and suitable to the population"; (Mahaffy), P Amh II. 82.8 (iii/iv A.D.) where a man is described as unfitted for an official post—ἀνεπιτήδειον ὄντα. . . οὐδὲ πολιτευσάμενόν ποτε, P Oxy VI. 902.4 (c. A.D. 465) τῆ ]ς μακαρίας μνήμης Φοιβ [ ]μμωνος τοῦ πολιτευσ ̣α ̣μένου, ";Phoebammon, of blessed memory, member of the council"; (Edd.), and P Iand 40.10 (v/vi A.D.) Φ λόξενος πολιτευόμ (ενος), with the editor’s note : ";urbium decuriones et curiales in papyris . . . πολιτευόμενοι vocantur.";

Dibelius (HZNT ad Philippians 1:27) notes the more general sense which πολιτεύομαι sometimes has, almost = περιπατέω, and cites by way of illustration Clem. R. 6 τούτοις τοῖς ἀνδράσιν ὁσίως πολιτευσαμένοις συνηθροίσθη πολὺ πλῆθος ἐκλεκτῶν, and Proclus typi epistolares (Hercher Epistologr. Graeci p. 13) οἶδα μὲν ὡ ̣ς εὐσεβῶς ζῇς καὶ σεμνῶς πολιτεύῃ.
