P Par 49.23 f. (B.C. 164–58) (= Witkowski.2, p. 71) διὰ τὸ εἰς τὴν πόλιν με θέλειν δοῦναι ἀπενεγκεῖν. The verb occurs ter in the boy’s letter P Oxy I. 119 (ii/iii A.D.) (= Selections, p. 102 f.), e.g. καλῶς ἐποίησες οὐκ ἀπένηχές (l. ἀπήνεγκες) με μετ᾽ ἐσοῦ εἰς πόλιν, ";So kind of you not to have taken me off with you to town!"; For the verb with the added idea of violence, as Mark 15:1, see P Oxy I. 37i. 18 (A.D. 49) (= Selections, p. 50) βούλεται ὀν [ό ]ματι ἐλευθέρου τὸ σωμάτιον ἀπενέγκασθαι, ";she wishes to (defend herself on the ground) that the foundling was carried off in virtue of its being freeborn,"; BGU I. 22.29 ff. (A.D. 114) (= Selections, p. 76) ἀνέβη εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν μου, ἀπενέγκατο οἰχό (μενος) κίμενον ζεῦγος ψελλίω (ν) ἀργυρῶν, ";he went up into my house, and carried off with him a pair of silver bracelets that were lying there"; : cf. also P Magd 1.9 (B.C. 221) κατέσπειραν (τὸν κλῆρον) σησάμωι καὶ σίτωι καὶ ἀπενηνεγμένοι εἰσὶν παρὰ πάντα δίκαια. (The editor would read τὰ δίκαια.) Similarly P Ryl II. 154.21 (A.D. 66) κατασπείροντας καὶ ἀποφέροντας τὰ περιεσόμεν [α ] ἐκ τ [ούτω ]ν, and P Leid Bii. 17 (ii/B.C.), where two persons are reported to have carried some oil off for their own use (ἀπενηνεγμένοι εἰσίν), BGU IV. 1060.21 (B.C. 14), al. The active seems to be used in the same sense in CPHerm 9.10, but the context is fragmentary.
