In P Oxy I. 121.21 (iii/A.D.) μὴ προσποιήσῃς πρὸς τοὺς κυρείους αὐτῶν, the editors translate ";don’t make over anything to their masters,"; but suggest that the verb may have the sense of the mid. ";don’t make any pretence,"; This is the meaning generally given in its only NT occurrence Luke 24:28 (cf. Job 19:14), but see Plummer ICC ad l.
Other exx. from the Κοινή are P Oxy III. 531.5 (ii/A.D.) μηδὲν προσποιηθῇς ἕως ἐπ᾽ ἀγαθῷ πρὸς σὲ παραγὲνο (= ω)μαι, ";claim nothing until I come to you auspiciously"; (Edd.), and the fragmentary PSI III. 220.8 (iii/A.D.) προσεποιήθην. See also the description of the ironical man in Theophr. Char, p. 52.10 (ed. Jebb) προσποιήσασθαι ἄρτι παραγεγονέναι, ";he will pretend that he has just arrived,"; cf..14.
