A good parallel to the Pauline phrase 1 Thessalonians 4:13 οὐ θέλομεν δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν occurs in P Tebt II. 314.3 (ii/A.D.) πιστεύω σε μὴ ἀγνοεῖν, which also illustrates the use with the negative in 2 Corinthians 2:11. The construction in P Tebt I. 43.25 (B.C. 118) ὑφ᾽ ἡμῶν ἔν τισιν ἠγνοηκότων may help the difficult 2 Peter 2:12 ἐν οἷς ἀγνοοῦσιν βλασφημοῦντες. The suggestion of wilful ignorance (see ἄγνοια) appears in P Oxy IX. 1188.5 (A.D. 13) στοχα (σάμενος) τ ̣οῦ μηδ (ὲν) ἀγνοη (θῆναι) μηδὲ πρὸς χά (ριν) οἰκονομηθ (ῆναι), ";making it your aim that nothing be concealed or done by favour"; (Edd.). For ἀγνοεῖν of a person, cf. P Giss I. 69.4 (A.D. 118–9) Χαιρήμονα τὸν ἀναδιδόντα τὸ ἐπιστό [λι ]ον τοῦτο οὐκ ἀγνοεῖς, ἄδελφε.
