Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Leid Wxiv. 23 has the prayer Σάραπι. . μὴ ἀποστραφῇς με. An amulet, the opening lines of which were published by Wilcken in Archiv i. 427, and tentatively dated iii/v A.D., is given in BGU III. 955, Κύριε Σαβαὼθ ἀπόστρεψον ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ ·οτον (?) νόσον τῆς κεφαλ [ῆς ]. That these should be the only occurrences of so common a word we can cite from papyri is not a little perplexing. It occurs once in Syll 389.14 (A.D. 129), where Ephesus offers thanks to Hadrian as ἀποστρέψαντά τε καὶ τὸν βλά [πτοντα τοὺς ] λιμένας ποταμὸν Κάϋστρον. Its literary record is plentiful, and it requires nine columns in HR, with nine occurrences in NT, and a good number in the early patristic writers included in Goodspeed’s indices. It is also found in Apoc. Peter 8 of men who ";pervert"; righteousness—ἀποστρέφοντες τὴν δικαιοσύνην.
