Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

δύνω [page 172] P Hib I. 27 .52 (calendar B.C. 301 240) ἄγουσιν κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτ [ὸν ] τῆι αὐτῆι ἡμέραι τ [ὰς ] πλείστας οὐθὲν πα [ραλ ]λάσσοντες ἐπ᾽ ἄστρω [ι ] ἢ δύνοντι ἢ ἀνατ [έλ ]λοντι , they ( sc. the astronomers and sacred scribes) keep most of the festivals annually on the same day, without alterations owing to the setting or rising of a star (Edd.), P Oxy II. 235 .15 (horoscope A.D. 20 50) δύνει Σκορπίος οἷκος Ἄρεως . In the Eudoxus papyrus, P Par I .145 ( c. B.C. 165) we have ἀεὶ δὲ φανερὸς ὁ μηδέποτε δύνων , ᾧ εἰσὶν αἱ ἄρκτοι , and .173 εἰ μὲν γὰρ ὁ πόλος ἀνανεύσει ἢ κατανεύσει , αἱ ἄρκτοι δύσονται καὶ ἐπιτελοῦσιν . P Hal I. 1 .240 ( c . B.C. 250) ὡς δὲ ἂν ἥλιος ] δύηι , μηδὲ εἷς ἐνεχυραζ [έ ]τω μηδὲ πρὶν ἥ [λιον ἀνατέλλειν has the strong aorist, as the sense shows. We might also quote an application to the sunset of life, from Kaibel 568 .4 (Rome, iii/A.D.?) : ἥτις ἐνὶ ζωοῖσιν ὅκως ἀνέτελλεν Ἑῷος , νῦν δύνει δ᾽ ὑπὸ γῆν Ἕσπερος ἐν φθιμένοις . The daring versifier is adapting Plato s gem, the epitaph of Aster.
