The derived meaning ";take up in the mind,"; ";assume,"; ";suppose,"; which this verb has in Luke 7:43, Acts 2:15, may be illustrated from such passages as P Cairo Zen II. 59251.3 (B.C. 252) ὑπελαμβάνομεν ταχέως παρέσασθαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς, P Tebt I. 15.16 (B.C. 114) καλῶς ἔχειν ὑπελάβομεν διασαφῆσαι ἵ [ν᾽ εἰ ]δῇς, ";therefore I thought it well to report the matter for your information"; (Edd.), P Grenf II. 36.10 (B.C. 95) ὑπελαμβάνοσαν φονευθήσεσθαι, ";they expected to be killed,"; and P Fay 124.25 (ii/A.D.) μὴ γὰρ ὑπολάβῃς τ [ὴ ]ν μητέραν σου περὶ τούτων [τ ]ρέμειν, ";do not suppose that your mother has any alarm about this course"; (Edd.).
For the more literal ";take up and carry away"; (cf. Acts 1:9), see CPR I. 1.31 (A.D. 83–4) ὅτι δ᾽ ἂν τούτων παραβῆι ἡ Πτολεμ ]αῖς ἀποτίσ [εται τῷ Μάρωνι παρ ]αχρῆμα ὃ ὑπείληφεν. . . κεφαλαῖον μεθ᾽ ἡμιολίας, and BGU III. 709.19 (time of Anton. Pius) ἀποτισάτω ἃς ὑπείληφεν δραχμάς.
