Like the verb, the subst. frequently has the meaning ";help"; in petitions, e.g. P Par 26.40 (B.C. 163–2) (= Selections, p. 17) δεόμεθα οὖν ὑμῶν, μίαν ἔχουσαι ἐλπίδα τὴν ὑφ᾽ ὑμῶν ἐσομένην ἀντίληψιν, ἀποστεῖλαι ἡμῶν τὴν ἔντευξιν ἐπὶ Διονύσιον, ";we beg you, therefore, having as our one hope the assistance that lies in your power, to send away our petition to Dionysius,"; P Amh II. 35.57 (B.C. 132) τυχόντες τῆς παρὰ σ ̣[ο ]ῦ ἀντιλήψεως, P Grenf I. 15.1 (not later than B.C. 146 or 135) σῆς δικαίας ἀντιλήψεως, BGU IV. 1187.27 (i/B.C.). For the extension of this meaning to religious matters in the LXX and in 1 Corinthians 12:28, see BS p. 92. It should be noted that the μ which WH insert in the noun in this last passage begins to invade it even in the earlier documents : cf. Proleg. p. 56. Thus P Lond 23.20 (B.C. 158) (= I. p. 38) ἧς ἔχετε πρὸς πάντας. . . ἀντιλήμψεως, and the same phrase in P Tebt I. 43.29 (B.C. 118) : cf. P Tebt II. 283.20 ff. (B.C. 93 or 60) τούτου δὲ γενομ [έ ]νου ἔσομαι τετευχὼς [τῆ ]ς παρὰ σοῦ ἀντιλήμψεως, ";for if this is done I shall have gained succour from you"; (Edd.). Later examples of the word are P Fay 296 (A.D. 113) διὸ ἐπὶ σὲ τὴν καταφ [υ ]γὴν ποιησάμενος ἀξιῶ ἐάν σοι φαίνηται ἀντιλήμψεως τυχεῖν πρὸς τὸ δύνασθαί με ἐπιμένιν ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ διευθύνων τὰ δημοσίᾳ, and BGU II. 61313 (time of Antoninus Pius) δεόμενος τῆς ἀπὸ σοῦ ἀντιλήμψεως τ ̣[υχεῖ ]ν.
