δια-τρίβω

διατρίβω is common = *‘ live,” ‘‘sojourn,” e.g. P Hal I. (middle iii/B.c.) ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν ᾿Απόλλωνος πίόϊλει διατρίβωσιν, P Lille I. 74 (iii/B.c.) ϑιατρίβοντος γάρ μου μετὰ ᾿Απολλωνίου ἐμοῦ οἰκείου, BGU I. 267" (a-p. 199) πρὸς μὲν τοὺς ἐν ἀλλοτρίᾳ πόλει διατρείβοντας ἐτῶν εἴκοσι ἀριθμῷ βεβαιοῦται (cf. P Strass I. 225), 16. IV. 1140% (B.C. 5) διατρείψας ἐνταῦθα (in Alexandria) τὸν πάντα xpdovov— the complaint of a Jew named Helenus, son of Tryphon an Alexandrian, Pretsigke 10029 (? ili/A.D.) ἐν τῇ βασιλ[ευ]ο[ύ]σῃ Ῥώμῃ χρόνῳ πολλῷ διατρίψας, P Oxy III. 456% (λον 131) ἐνθάδε] μοι διατριβούσῃ ἀπηνγέλη τὰ ἐμὰ πάν[τα] . . . ἀπολωλέναι, 2. IX. 120418 (A.D. 299) ἐπειδὴ κατὰ τὴν “Oacty τῆν Μεικρὰν διέτρειβεν, etc. So from the inserr. Wichel 332} (1}8.6.} διατρίβων παρὰ βασιλεῖ Σκυθῶν, “living at the court of the King of the Scythians.” These exx. make against the constr. suggested Ly Field (Δίοζος p. 121) for Ac 148, by which χρόνον is the object of | διέτριψαν instead of the acc. of time. For the subst. see OG/IS 5057 (A.D. 156) ὡς ἐν πατρίδι ταῖς ᾿Αθήναις τὴν διατριβὴν ποιησάμενος (= ἐν ταῖς A. ὡς ἐν π.,) as Dittenberger notes). In connexion with the frequent use of this verb in Ac, Hobart (p. 221 f.) adduces exx. of its varied employment in medical writings. Διατριβή in MGr = “dissertation,” as in technical phraseology of ancient times, from which it apparently descends. 6 διαφέρω
