Vocabulary of the Greek NT

μεθιστάνω, μεθίστημι, in the sense of ";remove from,"; is seen in a contract regarding letting a house, BGU IV. 1116.32 (B.C. 13) μεθισταμέ (νῃ) τῆ (ς) μισθώσεως ἐντὸς τοῦ χρό (νου) καὶ ἑτέρο (ις) μεταμισθο (ῦν) : cf. ib. 1117.43, 1159.15, and the late P Oxy I. 135.21 (A.D. 579) [[μεθε ]]στασθαι εἰς ἕτερον τόπον. For the verb, ";depart from life,"; ";die,"; see P Lond 354.10 (c. B.C. 10) (= II. p. 164) φάσκοντες τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ ζῆν μεθεστακέναι, and for a causal sense, see BGU I. 36.13 (ii/A.D.) τοῦ ζῆν με [τ ]α [σ ]τῆσαι, and without τοῦ ζῆν (cf. Acts 13:22) OGIS 308.4 (ii/B.C.) μεθέστηκεν εἰς θεούς, which the editor describes as ";usitata formula de regum regiaeque familiae hominum mortibus,"; and compares ib. 338.4 (ii/B.C.) μεθισ ]τάμενος ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ἀπολέλοιπεν τὴ [μ πατρί ]δα ἡμῶν ἐλευθέραν (of Attalus III.), and 339.16 (c. B.C. 125) τῶν τε βασιλέων εἰς θεοὺς μεταστάντων. Cf. also Vett. Val. p. 94.9 ἔκπτωτος ἐγένετο καὶ ἑκὼν μετέστη (mortem sibi conscivit).
