Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For the intrans. use of this verb ";tread,"; ";walk,"; we may cite the new fragment of an uncanonical gospel, P Oxy V. 840, where a Pharisee is represented as saying to the Saviour in the temple, 12 ff. τίς ἐπέτρεψέν σοι πατ [εῖν ] τοῦτο τὸ ἁγνευτήριον. . . τ [όπον ὄν ]τα καθαρόν, ὃν οὐδεὶς ἄ [λλος εἰ μὴ ] λουσάμενος καὶ ἀλλά [ξας τὰ ἐνδύ ]ματα πατεῖ; ";who gave thee leave to walk in this place of purification, which is a pure place, wherein no other man walks except he has washed himself and changed his garments?"; (Edd.).

The trans. use ";tread on,"; ";trample,"; is seen in such passages as P Flor II. 150.5 (A.D. 267) πατῆσαι τὰ ἐν τῷ αἰγιαλῷ θέρη, ";to tread the crops in the sand,"; P Oxy VI. 988 (A.D. 224) τὴν δὲ κριθὴν καλῶς πεπατημένην χωρὶς δίσης καὶ ἀθέρος. The verbal is common, e.g. BGU II. 591.22 (A.D. 56–57) and P Flor III. 369.12 (A.D. 139(149)) φοίνικος ξηροῦ πατητοῦ, ";dry pressed dates."; For the subst. πατητής (calcator), ";one who treads grapes with the feet,"; cf. BGU IV.1039.4 (Byz.) : in P Oxy VIII. 1142.3 (late iii/A.D.) πάτημα is a kind of fodder, see the editor’s note. The metaph. use of the verb is fully illustrated by Headlam Herodas, p. 392.
