τελειόω is common in legal papyri = ";execute"; : see e.g. P Oxy III. 483.20 (A.D. 108) τελειῶσαι τὸν χρημα [τισμὸν ] ὡς καθήκει, ";to execute the deed in the proper way"; (Edd.), and P Giss I. 34.16 (A.D. 265–6) ἐτε ̣λ ̣ε ̣ι ̣[ωσε ]ν τὰ νόμιμα. In P Oxy II. 238.9 (A.D. 72) it seems rather to have the meaning ";complete"; by the insertion of date and signatures—προσέρχεσθαι τοῖς ἀγορανόμοις καὶ τε [λειοῦν ] ταύτας (sc. οἰκονομίας) ἐντὸς [. . . . : see the editors’ note.
On the use of the verb in connexion with martyrdom, as in 4 Maccabees 7:15 ὃν πιστὴ θανάτου σφραγὶς ἐτελείωσεν, see Moffatt Heb. p. 32, and cf. the Christian gravestone Preisigke 1600.3 ἔνθα κατά [κει ]ται ἡ μα <κα > ρία Π.[.]θία, ἐτε ̣λεώθη μη (νὶ) Θὼθ κ ̄α ̣̄. MGr τελειώνω, ";finish.";
