Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";make haste,"; and so ";am eager,"; ";give diligence,"; with the further idea of ";effort,"; as in Galatians 2:10. For σπουδάζω followed by acc. c. inf., as in 2 Peter 1:15 for which Mayor ad l. can supply only one ex. [Plato] Alc. sec. 141 σπουδάσαντες τοῦτ᾽ αὐτοῖς παραγενέσθαι, we can cite BGU IV. 1080.14 (iii/A.D.) σπούδασον ἡμᾶς καταξιῶσαι τῶν ἴσ [ω ]ν γραμμάτων, P Oxy VII. 1069.10 (iii/A.D.) θέλω δὲ εἰδένε πῶς σπουδάδεις (l. σπουδάζεις) αὐτὼ γενέστε (l. αὐτὸ γενέσθαι), ";I wish to know that you are hurrying on the making of it"; (Ed.), and ib. VI. 939.18 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 129) ἕτερά σε γράμματα ἐπικαταλαβεῖν ἐσπούδασα διὰ Εὐφροσύνου, ";I am anxious that you should receive another letter by Euphrosynus"; (Edd.).

For the verb c. the simple inf. cf. ib. XIV. 1765.8 (iii/A.D.) σπούδασον γράψαι μοι, and P Amh II. 144.7 (v/A.D.) σπούδασον οὖν τὸ μικρὸ [ν ] παιδίον ἡμῶν Ἀρτεμίδωρον [[.]] θεῖναι ἐν ὑποθήκῃ, ";make haste therefore and put our little slave Artemidorus under pledge"; (Edd.); and c. the acc., cf. P Fay 112.18 (A.D. 99) μὴ σπουδασέτωσαν ἅλω ανταλ ̣ο ̣μμινα, ";do not let them be in a hurry with the . . . threshing-floor,"; and P Bouriant 20.39 (after A.D. 350) σπουδασάτω τὴν χορηγίαν. This last papyrus shows us also .36 τοῦτο γὰρ σπουδάζει, ";car c’est le but qu’on se propose"; (Ed.).

Other instances of the verb with varying meanings and constructions are : P Hib I. 77.4 (B.C. 249) καθάπερ ὁ βασιλεὺς σπουδάζει, ";in accordance with the king’s desire,"; P Oxy VII. 1061.16 (B.C. 22) συντύχηι καὶ σπουδάσει ἕως ὅτου τελεσθῆ [ι, ";that he may meet him and do his best until it is effected"; (Ed.) (for constr. see Blass-Debrunner § 369. 3), P Oxy IV. 746.8 (A.D. 16) τοῦτο οὖν ἐάν σοι φα [ ]νηται σπουδάσεις κατὰ τὸ δίκαιον, ";please therefore further him in this matter, as is just"; (Edd.), ib. I. 113.24 (ii/A.D.) σπούδασον ἕως οὗ ἀγοράσῃ μ ̣οι Ὀννῶφρις ἃ αὐτῶι εἴρηκεν μήτ (ηρ) Εἰρήνης, ";take care that Onnophris buys me what Irene’s mother told him"; (Edd.), and from the inscrr. Syll.3 434/5.19 (B.C. 266–5) φανερός ἐστιν σπουδάζων ὑπὲρ τῆς κοινῆς τ [

ν ] Ἑλλήνων ἐλευθερίας, and C. and B. ii. p. 470, No. 309 σπουδασάντων κὲ τῶν συνβιωτῶν κὲ λ ̄β ̄ ἄλλων, of co-operation in the building of a tomb.
