The metaph. use of πταίω, ";stumble,"; in the NT (Romans 11:11 al.) may be illustrated from the vi/A.D. letter of an advocate, complaining about the treatment of certain cultivators in his employ—P Oxy VIII. 1165.11 παρακληθῆτε οὖν, εἴτε ἔπταισαν εἴτε οὐκ ἔπταισαν, ποιῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπολυθῆναι, ";be persuaded, whether they made an error or whether they did not, to have them released"; (Ed.). The verb is also found in PSI VII. 767.38 (A.D. 331 ?) πτέ (= αί)σαντας τὴν τυχήν, and Syll 350 (=.8768).10 (B.C. 31) πταῖσαι, and a subst. πταῖμα (for πταῖσμα) in ib..3456.40 (c. B.C. 250) πταίματός [τι ]νος γενομένου. Cf. M. Anton, vii. 22 ἴδιον ἀνθρώπου φιλεἷν καὶ τοὺς πταίοντας, ";it is a man’s especial privilege to love even those who Stumble"; (Haines), and Menander Fragm. p. 195 fr. 672.2. See also Deissmann BS, p. 68.
