Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀσθενέω is too common to need many citations. There is a pathetically laconic Ἀσθενῶ between some household details and concluding salutations in an undated letter, BGU III. 827.24. P Oxy IV. 725.40 (A.D. 183) is typical : a boy apprenticed to a weaver is to have 20 holidays a year for festivals, without loss of wages, ἐὰν δὲ πλείονας τούτων ἀργήσῃ [ἢ ἀσ ]θενήσῃ ἢ ἀτακτήσῃ κτλ , ";from idleness or ill-health or disobedience"; (Edd.), they must be made up. With the use of the verb in Matthew 10:8 may be compared Syll 503.16 where a certain man is extolled because, in addition to other benefactions, παρέσχεν ἰατ ]ρὸν τὸν θεραπεύσοντ [α τοὺς ἀσθε ]νοῦντας ἐν τῆ [ι ] παν [ηγύρει ]. See also P Par 5i. 5 (B.C. 114) ἀσθενῶν τοῖς ὄμμασι (so also P Leid M i.6), ib. 63 iv. 122 (B.C. 165) κατὰ τῶν ἀσθενούντων καὶ μὴ δυναμένων ὑπουργεῖν , BGU III. 844.12 (A.D. 83) κόπους γάρ μο [ι ] παρέχει ἀσθενοῦντει . In P Lond 144 (? i/A.D.) (= II. p. 253) a servant complains that he had been without food (ἀσειτήσαντος ) for two days, as the boy who brought his provisions ";was sick,"; ἀσθενήσαντος : cf. P Lond 22.23 (B.C. 164–3) (= I. p. 7) where ἀσθενῶς διακειμένας is used to describe the ";sorry plight"; of the twins in the Serapeum owing to the withholding of their allowances of oil and bread. In Proleg. p. 11 the very vernacular letter BGU III. 948.6 (Christian, iv/v A.D.) is quoted for its closeness to Luke 13:16 : ἡ μήτηρ σου Κ . ἀσθενῖ , εἰδοῦ , δέκα τρῖς μῆνες . (See under ἰδού .) Ἠσθένηκα is answered by ἐὰν κομψῶς σχῶ in P Tebt II. 414.10 (ii/A.D.). The compound ἐξασθενέω is found in BGU III. 903.15 (ii/A.D.) as now amended, τοὺς πλείστους ἐξασθενήσαντας ἀνακεχωρηκέναι κτλ . : cf. also P Tebt I. 50.33 (B.C. 112–1), where for ἐξησθενηκώς the editors hesitate between the meanings ";was impoverished"; or ";fell ill."; Add PSI 101.14 (ii/A.D.) οὕσπερ ἐξασθενήσαντας ἀνακεχωρηκέναι : the last three substantial men of the village had emigrated because they could not stand the taxation.
