Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
αἰσθάνομαι [page 14]
This verb, in NT only Luk_9:45 , is asserted by Nδgeli (p. 57) to be absent from the papyri. This is a still more remarkable oversight than that noted under αἰδώς . A few examples will suffice. P Eleph 13 .3 (B.C. 223 2) ἐχάρην ἐπὶ τῶι με αἰσθέσθαι τὰ κατά σε , P Oxy III. 472 .3 ( c. A.D. 130) οὔτ᾽ ἔφη πρός τινα αἰσθέσθαι οὐδενός ( noticed anything ), BGU II. 372 i. 16 (A.D. 154) ἴ ]στωσαν [μ ]ὲν τ̣[ὸ ]ν . . . ἐκ ταύτ [ης ] τῆς αἰτ [ίας ἔ ]τι κατεχόμενον α [ἰσ ]θήσεσθαι τῆς τοῦ μεγίστου Αὐτοκράτορος εὐ [μ ]εν [εί ]ας (see Chrest. I. p. 33), ib. 417 .4 (ii/iii A.D.) αἰσθόμε (νον ) τὴν τοῦ καιροῦ πικρίαν (note the accus. in a vernacular document), ib. 531 ii. 19 (ii/A.D.) α [ἰ ]σθόμενος πῶς με φιλεῖς , and an ostrakon in Archiv vi. p. 220 (iii/B.C.) ἀπόστειλον τοῖς ὑπογεγραμμένοις τὰς πεταλίας κρυφῆι καὶ μηθεὶς αἰσθανέσθω . But it is hardly necessary to go on to the other five or six volumes in which the index contains this verb. It survives in MGr.
